I used to hate modules until I just gave up on the modprobe stuff and all
that and just do it by hand.
In theory, all you have to do is modprobe imm.o and all is well. Mine
never works that way.
So, just put your insmod commands into /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local.
You may have to include the complete path to your insmod command and to your
modules, which reside in /lib/modules/kernelversion/drivers/scsi, I believe.
Your kernel version is uname -r
Here is the output of lsmod on my Caldera 2.4 system with a 2.4.5 kernel
patched for win4lin. Load them in reverse order of course and you have to
include the terminal ".o". This may differ a bit from kernel to kernel and also
depends on what was built into your kernel. Don't forget that if you have
the lp module installed, that has to be removed before you install imm.o,
but it can be reinstalled after imm.o.
imm 9144 0 (unused)
sg 21692 0 (unused)
sd_mod 9832 0 (unused)
scsi_mod 53024 3 [imm sg sd_mod]
I load all my modules in rc.local. It can be a nuisance to set up but at the
end of the day I know it will work and if it doesn't I can fix it.
