It has to be that way so any program that wants to access the sound card (via sound-slot-0) is poited to the correct driver.

Re: Configure PnP Card before Kernel loads modules
thanks andreas, I will try that. stupid question: is sound-slot-0 just a random name? about the kernel question: I''m using the 2.4.18 kernel, but he does not auto configure my card - maybe this is switched of by default and I have to configure it (good tip!) thanks andreas Andreas Janssen wrote: Modules from /etc/modules are loaded by /etc/init.d/modutils which is symlinked to /etc/rcS.d/S20modutils. If you want to have your script run before that, symlink it to /etc/rcS.d/S??modutils where ?? is less than 20. If instead you used update-modules to add a line alias sound-slot-0 modulename to /etc/modules.conf, the driver will be loaded when needed. By the way, are using kernel 2.2 or 2.4? 2.4 has improved isa pnp support, /maybe/ you won't need to run isapnptools. best regards Andreas Janssen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
