Modules in RH7.x

2002-07-16 Thread Matthew Carpenter
Hey Llama- Here's one up your alley. In COL, they have /etc/modules/default as a file to list modules to be loaded at startup. Is there such a thing in RH 7.[2-3]? This has been buggerin' me for a while. Today, someone asked me how to load the ipchains module be default. I know that it can

So then, what is the format? In the default file, they are just listed. Can you do that in /etc/modules.conf as well or is there something special to do that? On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 11:03:07 -0400 (EDT) Net Llama! [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Redhat (has always) placed this stuff in

I think Kevin's email already addressed the formating, but basically, its alias device module so that it looks like this: alias eth0 eepro100 alias scsi_hostadapter1 DAC960 alias usb-controller usb-ohci On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Matthew Carpenter wrote: So then, what is the format? In the

ISA anything is a completely different animal, as you normally need to use isapnp to get it confdigured. I've honestly never used ISA hardware under Linux, so i'll leave it to someone else to comment on its parculiarities. On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Stuart Biggerstaff wrote: How about this, then?

I'd bet money that Caldera split off the modules list for ease of management. Their COAS tools have always been pretty decent about allowing you to edit with their tools and edit with vi. On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 11:03:07 -0400 (EDT) Net Llama! [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Caldera seems to have done

On all the COL's I've run, it was simple. Add the module name to /etc/modules/default and in /etc/modules.conf make a line that looks like so: options sb io=0s220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330 or something to fit the specs of your module/card. This is my SoundBlaster setting for my laptop.

I'd say that's so, but it's even better. As I noted, if I load a module for a NIC in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, I then have to tell the OS to use it as eth0 in /etc/modules.conf. If I add it in /etc/modules/default, the operating system seems to figure that out. I suppose there could be a

Been there. Done that. It works fine on PNP stuff. If you need to specify separate IRQ's you need to do something funky, I think. On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 15:24:43 -0500 Stuart Biggerstaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I suppose there could be a downside to that, in that you might have two NICs,

I think for ISA stuff, you normally do need to specify IRQs and the like. For PCI hardware, you shouldn't have to specify anything. On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Matthew Carpenter wrote: Been there. Done that. It works fine on PNP stuff. If you need to specify separate IRQ's you need to do
