I’ve also thought about preserving the contents of dnsmasq,leases. Sometimes I scp that file to another machine before a BuC reboot then scp it back again (and “svi dnsmasq restart”) afterwards. It’s not a huge issue to lose the DHCP leases themselves; mostly the pain comes from DNS not knowing

If you need to force the loading of a kernel module at boot time you can try the KMODULES argument on the kernel command-line. Module options can also be specified in the same way. Some clues about how to do this are documented in the Wiki at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?
