william Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Whenever I boot the system I have to add manually in terminal the following comands to have some external devices working: modprobe pcmcia_coremodprobe sd yenta_socket modprobe audio modprobe exaudio In order to make the system load these modules during booting time I inserted in /etc/modules all these lines, but unforntunately with no success. Any help will be very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 try /etc/modules.conf - something in my memory tells me that is where they should go - of course it could be the gremlins in my head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 don't bother with the modprobe section, just put the modules in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 curse those pesky gremlins... modules.conf is the right file ;-) i was just pointing out that you don't need to place the modprobe part. in fact, i think there's more too it....

william Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Deserving my rank here in this forum, what should be considered during any sort of help, I've just inserted the modules with "modprobe" in /etc/modules.conf and the system got damaged. During booting time I receive a bunch of errors, my windows partition, my ethernet card, my internal soundcard, my hub with a bunch of devices attached to the hub (external sound, zip, mouse, etc) is not being recognized. What to do?? Reinstall the system??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I'm not sure of the syntax myself, but here's my modules.conf file if it's any help: probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 es1371 alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 put modprobe audio and the others in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules or rc.local and see if they load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 hea: unfortunately i didn't worked. putmodprobe audio and the others in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules or rc.local and see if they load. bvc: I've opened the files you mentioned, but how to edit this files, I mean: rc.modules is quite complicated to understand, could explain (a "cake recipe") me where and which comand line I have to nsert in these files, via vi or an editor? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Use any editor that is not using word wrap. Most do not by default....you have to turn it on. If you know how to use vi/vim/gvim, sure! In kde I always used kate or vim. Here's the end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local for example elif [ $SECURE_LEVEL -ge 4 ]; then rm -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net fi touch /var/lock/subsys/local # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers modprobe adm1021 modprobe eeprom modprobe w83781d echo 2048 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq echo 8190 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max You probably already have; touch /var/lock/subsys/local so, basically put the mods at the end. Same goes for rc.modules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
