Load module permanent (modprobe)

Beuzekom · 01-24-2004, 08:22 AM

All,

I am using some software that is using certain modules to do timing. Every time I reboot the PC i need to /sbin/modprobe mymodule.

How can I save this configuration so that the next time I reboot the machine do not need to modprobe the module?

Thanks!

make a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
modprobe <mymodule>

name it <mymodscript>
make it executeable: chmod +x <mymodscript>
put in /etc/init.d
make a symlinc to you runlevel:
ln -s /etc/init.d/<mymodscript> /etc/rc5.d/<S50mymodscipt>

Quis!

Thanks it is working - also just tried to add the following

/sbin/modprobe mymodule to the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Also seems to be working. Is there a difference betwene your way and the one described above?
