To specify which modules get loaded, do it IN THE RIGHT ORDER in /etc/modules. /etc/modules.conf allows you to do it out of order and have the software compensate for your forgetfulness.

Re: [Leaf-user] modules.conf
I was one of the people having trouble with Intel EtherExpress NICs. The wise ones of the list suggested to me this format to use in /etc/modules: (module name) -o (alias) (options to pass to module) Kim, if I'm understanding your post correctly one of your modules is ppp_mppe and the alias you want to establish for it is ppp-compress-18. If this is true then the entries you should use in /etc/modules are: ppp_mppe -o ppp-compress-18 bsd_comp -o ppp-compress-21 ppp_deflate -o ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate -o ppp-compress-26 Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You ratehr need to load the modules ppp_mppe.o, bsd_comp.o and bsd_deflate.o. As stated in an earlier post, this is done in /etc/modules. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ #60745924\ http://seattlefirewall.dyndns.org Shoreline, Washington \__ ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user

Would /etc/modules accept these > aliases? Items in /etc/modules in LRP are used as options to /sbin/insmod, so probably not. >From my readings, /etc/conf.modules in the typical Linux distribution is used to control modprobe and depmod, and thus is likely irrelevant to your LEAF configuration (since it does not have modprobe or depmod). Also, the LEAF kernel will not use modprobe to install modules, best I can tell. Thus, just making sure you load the appropriate modules before hand should be enough, since the kernel won't load them on the fly. If you get missing module errors, it means YOU didn't load the modules ;-) To fix it Right Now, just insmod the right modules; to fix it the Right Way add the modules to /etc/modules so the modules load on boot. If I understand correctly, the kernel would "look for" a module "ppp-compress-18" and then modprobe would load the module ppp_mppe; these aliases you need to keep in mind yourself so you know what they mean. You might do something like this, too: cd /lib/modules ln -s ppp_mppe ppp-compress-18 ln -s bsd_comp ppp-compress-21 ln -s ppp_deflate ppp-compress-24 ln -s ppp_deflate ppp-compress-26 Then save modules.lrp. This would allow you to actually USE those aliases, like so: insmod ppp-compress-24 ...and to add them to /etc/modules: ppp-compress-24 ppp-compress-21 ppp-compress-18 Comments? ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user

Sounds right to me - but won't these lines: ppp_deflate -o ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate -o ppp-compress-26 ...cause ppp_deflate.o to be loaded twice?

Re: [Leaf-user] modules.conf
That's something I can't answer for sure. I thought I'd seen mention of the following /etc/modules syntax in the list: (module) -o (alias1),(alias2) But I can't find it to confirm. Looking at the insmod manpage also doesn't confirm that this syntax will work, but it doesn't discount it either. I'm just happy to finally be able to contribute something. Brent P.
