Loading correct sound drivers at startup

[Stephen]

I am running a Knoppix hdd install on an IBM 390z laptop. Sound can be configured correctly by executing the following commands:

modprobe sound
modprobe ad1848
modprobe uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

My question is, how can these lines or similar be inserted into a startup script, or otherwise executed on system startup so that sound is always configured correctly and i don't have to do it manually every time?

Create a file as root in the /etc/modutils directory called sound in it have the contents:

## Added by me for sound card
modprobe sound
modprobe ad1848
modprobe uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

Then update-modules and check in /etc/modules.conf and you should see your newly created file's contents in the modules.conf and it will now be loaded at boot.
