I can't make some modules load at boot time.

Here's my /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.

and here's my lsmod just after booting :

I have to load manually :
forcedeth to make internet work
snd_intel8x0 to make sound work
bttv to make my tv card work

Pretty annoying huh ?
:evil:

Anybody may help ?

here's my dmesg :

I'm not sure if this will help, but after loading the modules manually, did you try running "update-modules" ?

Yes, i do it every time i boot, by running alsa-init.

Doesn't help...

Just add those modules to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

modprobe forcedeth snd_intel8x0 bttv
pump eth0

(you may not need to use pump)

I just happened across this by accident. Create a file /etc/modutils/actions w/ this:

# Special actions that are needed for some modules

# The BTTV module does not load the tuner module automatically,
# so do that in here
post-install bttv insmod tuner
post-remove bttv rmmod tuner

it worked !

thanks a lot.

I didn't need to create /etc/modutils/actions, the tuner module just loaded.
