|
|
When I initially compiled the kernel, I set the IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM Support, as a module. Since I did this, what text line should I add to the etc/modules.autoload to have this module loaded at startup? Also, for the above listed, is a module or enable the best way to go? I did a search on Google, and I read a recommendation to have CDROM support as a module.
Thanks. |

Check in the path of your modules the name of your module.
I don't remember the path, look when you do your make modules_install, it should write it on the screen.
As far as module vs enable, I do everything as enable because when I started using linux there were no module. I just kept my habits.
I believe there is no difference between module and enable.
Only that module allows more flexibility like adding a module dynamicaly. Then you can have a small kernel image (which fit on a floppy), and load the modules you need when you need them, if you need them.
As a user, it's more something you do once when you try to figure out what driver to add for your device... |
