[gentoo-user] Autoloading modules..,

[gentoo-user] Autoloading modules..,

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I want to load snd-seq since the /dev/snd/seq device comes up with the
wrong permission, if this modules is not loaded. The result is a
defunct qjackctrl.

I entered

    snd-seq

into 

    /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-3.2

and it does *not* autoload.

I am running 

    Linux 3.2.9 

(vanilla kernel).

What do have to do additionally to acchieve what I had intended?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

Probably not the answer you are looking for but, why do you not
compile the module directly into the kernel?

I heard -- not only in this list -- that loading modules, that
supports hardware, is better than integration the according 
modules into the kernel.

Really? Can't recall that comment on this list. It is certainly more
work the first time you install a machine (you need to know your
hardware), but in the long run it's easier for a lot of reasons, IMHO.

I've been running my kernels with everything I need included since
ages; laptop with Intel video card, desktop with NVidia (thanks
nouveau!), and every server I run. I use the nvidia binary module in
my media center, and sometimes I install VMware or VirtualBox, and
then I have a couple of modules hanging out. But usually lsmod returns
nothing in my machines.

In particular, all my ALSA drivers are included in my kernel, and they
never give me trouble.

But of course, none of this answers your original question. Good luck with that.

Regards.

Nope.  It's exactly the same.  The only instance where it's "better", is 
when you need to unload it again later.

I been using Gentoo for a long time.  I have never had modules except
for my nvidia driver.  I see no reason for having modules unless for
some reason some software requires something to be a module.  I did see
that requirement once but it was a rare case and quite some time ago.

I'm with others, just build it in then you don't have to worry about
loading the module at all.

If you are using baselayout-2, the file used to specify which modules to
auto-load has changed. For more info, please read the following :
