General Support - How do I make my modules survive a reboot?

Titel: How do I make my modules survive a reboot?

After a recent dist-upgrade, I now get an error during boot that hotplug does not recognize my mouse, and I also get a failure of eth0. Both are resolved if I modprobe psmouse and rt2500 (then ifup eth0), but I have not been able to figure out how to make these two survive a reboot. What is the correct method to update the modules to load at boot?

I'm not sure if there is a definitive way of doing it it but I personally add any modules to /etc/modules

When I add the two modules to /etc/modules and reboot, I get the same result. If I edit /etc/modules again, my changes are not there. Something is writing over /etc/modules (every boot?) and the new additions are not retained. What would do this and how do I turn it off?

Try adding them to "/etc/modules-2.6" instead. I think "/etc/modules" is no longer used.

From module-init-tools init script:

Code:

KVER=$(uname -r)

KMAJ=${KVER%${KVER#*.*[^.]}}

KMAJ=${KMAJ%.}

if [ -e /etc/modules-$KVER ]; then

  MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules-$KVER

elif [ -e /etc/modules-$KMAJ ]; then

  MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules-$KMAJ

else

  MODULES_FILE=/etc/modules

fi

You can see what files are accepted and in what order.

maybe you can try putting the text files into the /etc/modprobe.d folder

So, simply remove all files /etc/modules-* (they are not needed any more) and just leave /etc/modules. After that add your module into that file and it will be activated with every boot.

Thanks for the help. I did find another file named after the kernel that was overwriting etc/modules on each boot. When I editted that file, the changes stayed. It took a bunch of rebooting to read the message as it whizzed by while booting. How do I capture all that text and save it to read it at a more human pace?

Simply:

Code:

dmesg > bootmessages.txt

That puts them all in a handy text file.
