Loading modules during boot

[Bart]

Hi all,
I'm having some problems to load some modules at boot time.
I have added this line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

/sbin/modprobe lm90

but the module don't start during boot.
If I try to load it manually all works fine. Why?

Thanks.

What's the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.modules*

Try putting it in rc.local instead.

Try putting it in rc.local instead.

That's probably going to work. But it doesn't explain why rc.modules doesn't work. After all the latter is much better suited for modules as it runs much earlier.

Do you get such a line when booting: "Running /etc/rc.d/rc.modules" or something like this "Module dependencies up to date" / "Updating modules dependencies" ? The only condition that seems to be able to prevent rc.modules from running is when /proc/modules is not readable during rc.S.

True, infact using /etc/rc.d/rc.local all works fine but the problem remains.
