[gentoo-user] modules.audoload.d is not autoloaded

[gentoo-user] modules.audoload.d is not autoloaded

[Xi Shen]

hi,

i have some modules putted in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, and
my kernel is 2.6.32-gentoo-r7. but after system started up, i found
those modules are not loaded. running 'rc-update show', i can see the
'modules' is in 'boot' runlevel. if i load those modules manually,
they can be loaded normally. what's wrong with autoload?

I'm not shure if you're running baselayout-2: The place for configuration of autoload modules has changed to /etc/conf.d/modules.
See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml for explanations in more detail.

The runlevels are for system daemons, not kernel modules.

The modules that are autoloaded can be modprobed manually.  The
autoload list simply modprobes kernel modules early in the system
bootstrap.

So, are these kernel modules or system daemons you are trying to
load/start?
