modprobe question

[jerboyd]

hello. i'm running f11 preview. how can i add this to my modprobe.conf?

modprobe snd-seq-oss

i tried just putting that in as is but it doesn't load that module on boot up.
what is the proper way to do this?

You can add that line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. the rc.local file is the last one to be processed in the /etc/rc.d/ directory at boot up time.

thanks a bunch. worked like a charm, whatever that means.

Doesn't running "depmod" setup the module to load at bootup?

[AdamW]

No, that's not what depmod does. depmod rebuilds modprobe's database of available modules for each kernel version; you have to run depmod after you install a new kernel module file, or else modprobe wouldn't be able to find it. But it doesn't set anything to be automatically loaded.
