I have included module support in my kernel. So I need a modules.conf file. How do I create one? I can't use the modules.conf file of my host system, cos that's a knoppix debian running from cd.
I know you probebly can't give me a clear cut awnser as to how the file on my system should look like. But could someone point me in the direction of how I can figure out how to make one? I did "man modules.conf" but I don't really understand what to do after reading that.
But still, if someone would be so kind to help me further, here are the bits of the kernel .config file I said "=m" to :

CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=m

CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_PKTTYPE=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MARK=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=m
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=m

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m

CONFIG_DUMMY=m
CONFIG_TULIP=m

CONFIG_PRINTER=m


Hope I'm not to much trouble

One misconception I'd like to clear up:
Having modules installed does _not_ mean you _must_ have a modules.conf file to go with it.

I have many modules on my system, but I do not have a modules.conf file because I don't have a need for it.

If you look at modules.conf's man page you see it's an optional file. It is used to change the default behaviour of modules, ie paramaters that should always be default, or creating aliases (kind of like symlinks).

I'd try using your modules without a modules.conf file and see if things work the way you need them to work.

Hi there again.
So how do I insert modules at boot? I know there was a /etc/modules (not .conf) file on a debian I had once. Will that work here to? Or will I have to do aditional stuff. Or am I asking what I should of know because I didn't read right?
How I used to solve this problem, is that I would make a very simple script, somthing like :

#!/bin/bash

modprobe <mymodule>

And I would let run that script run by putting it in the "/etc/rc.d/init.d" directory. That's not very neat since the script would be run as well when I would shutdown.

So In short, what is the best way of inserting modules at boot on my lfs system?

you can create a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d and you need to create a symlink in /etc/rc.d/rc3.c (or whatever your default runlevel is. Could be 2, 3, 4 or 5). It won't run on shutdown unless you create symlinks in rc0.d and rc6.d as well.

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate it
