yes I meant saa7134 (double 'a')

Neither of these exist. Or is it your turn for a typo? If you 
meant /etc/modules, the file exists and I include it here. 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

## added 21/1/03  -  shlomo
saa7134
tvaudio
tuner
scsi_hostadapter
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$


But this file is no longer relevant for the 2.6 kernel. The new file 
is /etc/modprobe.preload.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ cat /etc/modprobe.preload
# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.
# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY
# for old kernel use /etc/modules

## added 4/4/04 - after installing MDK10  -  shlomo
saa7134
tvaudio
tuner
scsi_hostadapter
intel-agp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$


BTW - notice that I manually added 4 modules (originally to /etc/modules and 
later to /etc/modprobe.preload when I moved to MDK10.0 and kernel 2.6). None 
of the 4 modules I added get loaded. But the 5th module (intel-agp - I didn't 
manually add that) does get loaded.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]# lsmod | grep saa
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]# lsmod | grep tva
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]# lsmod | grep tuner
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]# lsmod | grep scsi_h
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]# lsmod | grep intel-
intel-agp              17372  1
agpgart                31016  1 intel-agp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]#



Let me repeat that all the modules I refer to did get loaded automatically at 
boot until last week. Obviously something has changed, but I can't figure out 
what.
