i've never been clear re the difference
between loading a kernel module during a session & loading it at boot time.
'modprobe modulename' loads it during a session AFAIK,
but how do i ensure it gets loaded the next time i boot ?
i've looked thro' various man pages & checked in  /etc , but it's not clear.

the specific question is getting CD-writing to work.
i've just got it working this session
after adding 'append "hdc=ide-scsi"' to the stanza in  lilo.conf ,
but after a reboot (due to a separate problem now resolved)
i had to reissue the command 'modprobe ide-scsi'.
should i add 'ide-scsi' to  /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 ?

what is the proper command or procedure to get a module loaded at boot time ?
