i have a running up-to-date gentoo system. but i just found out that i needed the ext3 kernel module, but i have removed it from the config file i used during the compilation of the kernel. so i was wondering how can i compile this module and how to insert it on runtime(ins mod and stuff).
all help would be highly appreciate it! thank you in advance!

Hello!
Just do the following:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
|
Navigate to the file systems menu and select <M> for etx3. Exit menuconfig saving your configuration and then enter
| Code: | make modules modules_install
|
and that's it. The module will be compiled and afterwards can be inserted using insmod.
Greetings, Scotty |

yup, thanx  i did it..everything's fine. but i don't want to insert the module on every boot manually. and i'm not quite sure which file should i edit so it would be done on boot time! modules.conf, modprobe.conf etc..any idea?

It's /etc/modules.autoload
just enter the name of the module there.
