RedHat... ok... They probably have the equivilent somewhere, but being a non-RH'er I couldnt say where. maybe locate rc.modules? or look for conf.modules as well as modules.conf... it seems to me RH did something like that. You might also consult RH documentation for where modules are actually loaded. It could be that its all in the rc.sysinit... but it sounds like a good reason to upgrade to Mandrake (or slackware for that matter!). BTW, Mike (mro) seems to be pretty darn hip to that redhat thing... maybe he'll chime in :)
