 |
|
Hi all,
I have this problem: in my new gentoo with kernel 4.1.15 on a vmware virtual machine, I have to load two modules
I have specified the name of the modules into the /etc/conf.d/modules file and I have loaded the modules service using the command | Code: | | rc-update add modules boot |
What I'm seeing after a new reboot is that only the last module has been loaded.
This is the modules file:
| Code: | #modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
#modules_2_6="tun"
#modules_2="ipv6"
#modules="ohci1394"
# You can give modules a different name when they load - the new name
# will also be used to pick arguments below.
#modules="dummy:dummy1"
# Give the modules some arguments if needed, per version if necessary.
# Again, the most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#module_ieee1394_args="debug"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="debug2"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23="debug3"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6="debug4"
#module_ieee1394_args_2="debug5"
# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.
#module for cesys card
modules="ceusb3"
#module for vmware shared folders
modules="vmhgfs"
|
Why this? What do I have to do to load even the second module?
Thank you for any help

It looks like you need: | Code: | # cesys card; vmware shared folders
modules="ceusb3 vmhgfs"
module_ceusb3_args=""
module_vmhgfs_args="" |
The last two for completeness, for when you want to pass args to the kernel module/s on load. |

Thank you steveL.
I didn't find this information on the documentation.
It works. |

You're welcome, dr_berta. :-)
(It's there in the first line; that's what I based off.)
Admittedly it would be better if some of the further examples used both (or others in combination.) |
