 |

Yeah, I think I've seen like 300 of these post. But here's mine. I can't mount cd-rom and its all my fault cause I know what I did wrong but I want to try to find a solution for it.
I wanted my usb external HD to be recognise so I followed this wiki. I didn't notice (probably cause I didn't drink enough coffee) but I've put my cdrom iso9660 into module. After installing and compiling, my usb HD worked like a charm, I can start it up and I can see it and I even write on it. But my cdrom doesn't work.
When I do mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom I get a iso9600 not recognise system file or something and that it didn't know it <-- (sorry if its not the full msg but I hope you get the drift). So after some search I found that if you type and then the mount command, my cdrom works. So here's my question. How can I prevent from typing modprobe iso9660 each time I boot my system ?
I just don't want to install and compile my kernel (again  ). I was probably thinking of either a driver !

Hi,
there is a file which loads modules on start, you just pust your custom module in it. Its /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6:
| Code: | teravinet ~ # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.
# For example:
# aic7xxx
ip_nat_ftp
ip_conntrack_ftp |
If you use openrc and baselayout-2 there is no such file, I don't remember where it resides now. BTW if you compile the kernel, you may want to activate "Automatic kernel module loading". |

One question about that which I really don't know or just don't remember, how do I know if I'm using baselayout-2 ? Cause when I do | Code: | | emerge -s baselayout |
I see that version 1.12.11.1 is installed ? Unless thats how 
For the iso9660, OMG, Duhhh I forgot about that file . I insterted iso9660 and it works, It even boots it automatically. Yayyy. But yes, I could of set it to enable in the kernel but your answer was faster lol. omg, I'm ashamed that I didn't even think of that file.
But for information (no pun intended here) the directory you gave was wrong, its /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 <-- notice the .d. In your code you see it but when you type it, you don't |
