The kernel itself should be the one handling it-- on boot. module-init-tools (insmod and company) are only stubs to the actual handling in-kernel of modules. Autoloading is also handled by the kernel, although loading is offloaded (!) to a separate insmod process. IIRC, AFAICT, YMMV. :D However, I'm with Gideon here -- it's most likely in the ramdisk. -- JM Ibanez Senior Software Engineer Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd. Co.
