What's the modules.conf syntax for explicitly loading? I've only used modules.conf for module options, not a replacement for modprobe.
As far as I know, the /etc/modules is part of initscripts (not modutils) and explicitly loads modules. I don't know if you can explicitly load modules with modules.conf .
[bconway@erasmus /]$ rpm -qf /etc/modules initscripts-6.40.2-41mdk [bconway@erasmus /]$ cat /etc/modules # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

Brian, /etc/modules is not in the standard initscripts rpm's from RedHat, so I don't have that. BTW, /etc/modules.conf is not owned by any package, either: rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/modules.conf file /etc/modules.conf is not owned by any package I can't find any documentation that refers to /etc/modules, either. I'd like to read up on this, because I find that I'm adding drivers to support fibre HBA's. Thanks, Bill
