> 3. How do I load a new module/s? [root@/]# insmod modname this will install a module, it looks in the current kernel dir ( /lib/modules/2.4.18-14 for Redhat 8.0) [root@/]# modprobe modname this will install the mod and any dependencies it may have. > 4. How do I make the OS load the new modules everytime the machine restarts? To get the new module to start up everytime it is easiest to do this: 1. Add the module and mod alias to /etc/modules.conf ( ie "alias eth0 3c90x" ) 2. cd to /boot and run the below command [root@/boot]# mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-'kernel'.img 'kernel' where kernel is your current kernel version ( ie. initrd-2.4.18-14.img for kernel 2.4.18-14) make sure the /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf files have the initrd= parameter pointed to this boot image ( initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img ) I'm not really sure if you can view the status of a modules that isn't loaded. However, I try not use use devices that Redhat does not support natively, there are more that likely better and easier ways of doing this. This is how I set up my Promise SuperTrak SX6000 card. Also, try looking at the man pages for lsmod, insmod, rmmod, modprobe, and mkinitrd. They'll help with the necessary switches for your system. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:harish.k@;lntinfotech.com] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 6:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Query regarding modules Hi List, A few queries regarding modules. 1.

How do I make the OS load the new modules everytime the machine restarts?
