You need to fix two things on the affected system: First, changes to /etc/conf.d/modules affect /etc/init.d/modules but not /etc/init.d/modules-load. Then, fix your syntax: You're overwriting the modules= assignment with each line. Your changes have no effect because you are confusing yourself (and even others here): 1. There a module autoloader and depmod, modules may be autoloaded 2. There's modules-load and modules 3. Each have their own config file and init script 4. Use the correct pair of config/init script when doing changes -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
