Depends on your distro, but I have found a combo of hotplug and coldplug to do a great job loading my modules for my hardware, that combined with a well written modules.conf and I'm a happy hardware user :) My distro is Gentoo. I believe actually quite a few distros now do it this way. There is a directory containing the options for your modules in files named according to the module they are loading. For example, I load an saa7134 module, and in my /etc/modules.d directory I have a file called saa7134 with all the module options I need to pass to that module, such as tuner=x, etc. Not that using rc.local is wrong or does something it shouldn't though, and if it works, don't 'fix' it :D Cool _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
