Configuring the Modules

You should list the modules you want automatically loaded in one of the relevant files listed below. You can add extra options to the modules too if you want.

• /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 - Kernel 2.4 only
• /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 - Kernel 2.6 only
• /etc/modules.autoload - All Kernels

Therefore, if you have a kernel module that you want to load -- which is common to both 2.4 and 2.6, then place it in /etc/modules.autoload. Otherwise it can be placed in the appropriate file.

To view all available modules, run the following find command. Don't forget to substitute "" with the version of the kernel you just compiled:

# find /lib/modules/kernel-version/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko'

For instance, to automatically load the 3c59x.o module, edit the appropriate file and enter the module name in it.

# nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4

This can be also done in a one-liner:

# echo '3c59x' >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4

Komen: chapter ni penting utk kita load modules masa boot. means tak yah gune coldplug utk detect hardware kita. modules ni mcm driver hardware la bagi pengguna windows.
