I haven't used RH in a long time. But in Debian /etc/modules.conf is fed to a script called 'update-modules' that generates /etc/modules. Modifying /etc/modules directly is a real hassle for distros because they need to keep track of the mods and maintain a way to update /etc/modules without breaking any custom stuff you have added. I suspect RH is doing the same. /etc/modules is the standard place for loading modules. If you put them there then they will try to be loaded. The format is just the module name, one per line. see man /etc/modules for the 'auto' and 'noauto' keywords that controls kerneld behavior. -- Richard A. Smith Bitworks, Inc.
