 Why won't my modules load on boot? I'm having great trouble trying to get modules to load during boot up. Initially it was just my joydev modules but it appears it is also the serial port module 8250 I have added both to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but they both seem to be ignored. Once booted up I do modprobe 8250 and lirc then works and modprobe joydev and my joystick works. Any idea why they don't load the first time, my error logs show nothing is wrong.      |

Yes, I am using udev. I've done modules-update without any errors. |

[...] * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service. * Saving random seed... [ ok ] * Modules are up-to-date * Using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 as config: * Loading module 8250... [ ok ] * Autoloaded 10 module(s) * Checking all filesystems... [...] so, that's the way you could see if modules are autoloaded rightly - if not try to copy to ng the output... -- Hekaton Keires, En to phronein maedhen aedistos bios. |

I've done modules-update without any errors. I would try a : # cd /usr/src/linux # make menuconfig (and check that those modules are marked 'M') # make dep && make modules && make modules_install Does it help ? |

I'm wondering if it's my lack of understanding that is the problem. The Gentoo docs say that under 2.6-kernels you only need to do make && make modules_install to compile them. The kernel in use is definitely 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 and the modules themselves appear to work when manually probed. I don't really understand the use of modules, I assumed you just did modprobe (module name) or added the module name in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but what exactly is /etc/modules.d/aliases and what for example is alias char-major-61 |
