System, which I use is not RedHat and modprobe is a symlink to the insmod, as usually. I don't understand, isn't it not needed for anybody to load modules automatically under initrd ? Isn't is so rarely task ?! I posted my message 2 days ago and have only one (your) answer ! I looked into kmod sources and it seems that it's impossible to load modules through kmod under initrd because of switching fs context to init fs context before exec modprobe. Is it right ? If no how it is possible to do it ? -- Best regards, Ed V. Bartosh -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
