Loading modules at boot time.

[Jacky]

If however I type modprobe snd-seq in a terminal qjackctrl works perfectly with no errors afterwards. I'd just like to have it automatically load at boot time(snd-seq).

You could try to "save configuration" which will create a knoppix.sh file on some hard disk. Then edit the knoppix.sh file to include a "modprobe snd-seq" line at the end. On reboot, issue the cheat code "knoppix myconfig=scan". Knoppix will then scan you disks for the knoppix.sh file and execute the knoppix.sh script, which should include running the modprobe command you want.

Ok
To get snd-seq loaded try this:
make a copy
cp /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig0
then write in the knoppix-autoconfig about line number 789

# Load snd-seq module
modprobe snd-seq >/dev/null 2>&1

and save it
check out lspci before and after configuration on:
snd

see if this works

Thanks for the reply.
I fear this does not work either lspci says exaclty the same thing before and after.
Checked the /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig file to see if it had saved correctly, which had been.
I really thought this would work
I'd really like to know how knoppix is working, back to the blackboard for me.

At last I've sussed it, and it turned out to be quite simple!
It seems a modules file is created for each kernel, I had several different kernels one of which is Kernel-2.6.16-1-multimedia
so I added the module snd_seq to /etc/modules-2.6.16-1-multimedia; This is then automatically loaded into the modules file
at boot time.
