Hi!
Can you please tell me how to add my module to the kernel statically ( i.e. When i reboot the system it should contain my module) ?
reply me.
bye,
Eshwar.

Hi.

You could put an entry in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

Something like modprobe [modulename] >/dev/null 2>&1

You'll have to figure out where in the file you want to do this.

If the module's not needed during boot, but will be later, you could put that line into
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

Moved: More suitable in Newbie as it really isn't LFS specific. Regards.
