FYI I don't see anywhere in the Redhat Init processing that it reads /etc/modules.conf or any variant of it /etc/rc,local is read and /etc/rc.modules is read both by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
Redhat recommends in the doc to add modprobe <module> to /etc/rc.modules (note you must create it first and set permissions correctly to use it, it's not there by default) adding to /etc/rc.modules does load it much earlier in init processing than /etc/rc.local does, which is the very last thing done so if you need it ealier then rc.modules is a better place I thought I saw a question about how to get this or use it so here We do use this install s390utils to get the vmcp command either yum isntall s390utils or rpm -Uvh --aid s390utils-1.3.2-2.40.12.s390x then add modprobe vmcp to /etc/rc.modules then just do a vmcp q n to test William 'Doug' Carroll Mainframe Systems Eng Sr I Global Technology Infrastructure ECS Virtualization Technology http://www.jpmchase.com Patrick Spinler <spinler.patrick@ mayo.edu> To Sent by: Linux on [email protected] 390 Port cc <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> Subject Re: vmcpi command 06/03/2008 08:02 PM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hubert Kleinmanns wrote: | James, | | just add ″modprobe vmcp″ to the file /etc/rc.local | You *should* also be able to put a line in /etc/modules.conf.local or /etc/modules.conf like this: alias block-major-10 vmcp Then -- it should automatically load vmcp if needed.
