modules.conf - Cannot get modules to load automatically
Greetings!
I have a lot of trouble with my modules.conf as I simply cannot understand its workings. I am using SuSE 8.1 but built my own kernel (2.4.23) which might be the cause of my problems. My main problem is that I don't quite get the concept of this char-major-### thing and I could not find any decent literature on it. For one thing there are the usb modules: usbcore, usb-ohci and hid. I found the following lines: Code:
######################################################################## Code:
#alias char-major-180 usbcore Code:
# alias char-major-188 usbserial And one thing I could not find at all in my modules.conf: hid.o, scanner.o, printer.o, ... all the actual device drivers. I want to have at least hid.o loaded automatically because it's not nice having to load it manually every time I boot the machine to be able to use my mouse. This post is already pretty big and confusing so I'll spare you about my problems with loading alsa/ide-scsi modules for now. I'd be very glad for any insight anyone could offer me! |
most distros use /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to modprobe the required drivers.
