Does anyone know how to set things up so that modules are automatically
loaded when needed? My understanding was that kmod was supposed to do this,
but I don't see it running on ps even though I did request it when
configuring my kernel compilation.
I have just wasted many hours trying to figure out why my CDRW, configured
for scsi emulation, would not let me mount a cd for reading, before realiing
that sr_mod (the scsi CD reader driver) was not being loaded anywhere in my
startup. This is not the first time I have had to modify a startup script to
ensure that modules I need are being loaded - I thought this process was
supposed to be automated.
