I figured out my SMP / X problem. For some reason the AGPGART and RADEONFB modules aren't loading automatically like they do in the single cpu kernel. But if I modprobe them, X works fine. Thanks anyways guys! -Marc

Marc, You'll probably want to build a new /boot/initrd-xxxx (along with an appropriate boot option) so that it loads automatically for smp. Bill

You could also add any modules you want to be explicitly loaded at boot time to /etc/modules .

What's the modules.conf syntax for explicitly loading? I've only used modules.conf for module options, not a replacement for modprobe. Thanks, Bill

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. #scsi_hostadapter -b

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

Look into mkinitrd. You can tell it to add certain modules to the initial ram disk (so you could even have / on a fibre HBA if you wanted). -- Charles R.

Hi all
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.
Being naive, I tried man modules.conf and got a lot of information. At the very top was The behavior of modprobe and depmod can be modified by the (optional) configuration file /etc/modules.conf I think that puts modules.conf itself into context. And the rest of those man pages should help as a first step in reading up on this. (I cannot point you farther since this has been as far as I have had to go in the past.) doug
HI all, Can u please help me to solve this problem...... There is several users are configuring LDAP in my server. I give them access to modify the LDAP's configuration by giving o+rwx and create the link for LDAP in their home directory. By this they can modify the L:DAP configuration. The big problem is, they always ask me to restart the ldap (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap restart), in fact... I'm so bussy.... Talk to the clients..... can my users ( group users ) able to restart the ldap by executing /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap restart.... how can i grant the read and write access to the defined directory which belong to root ? How can I do it ? --------------------------------------------------- Note : Btw, so sorry about asking you so much low level question...... Thanks.....
