Why do I not have " /etc/modules.autoload.d" directory in my /etc? There is "modules.d" what is the dif between them? Kernel is 2.6.27-gentoo-r5.

Would appreciate any help!

it seems like you are using gentoo unstable and therefor openrc.
read the openrc migration guide. this will clear things up.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll take a look at that.

Thanks,
Bruce.

Create the directory yourself, if it doesn't exist. (It should be there in the stage tarball you extract in chapter 5 of the installation handbook, and also comes with the sys-apps/baselayout package).

Edit: ok, alex beats me ... but still it should be there shouldn't it? (or maybe you deleted it yourself some time ago?)

OK! So I reinstalled using the stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2 and checked to see if the modules.autoload.d was in /etc and it was. Now after installing Xorg-x11 I nolonger have the modules.autoload.d directory. would "emerge -uaDN world" have upgraded my system to base layout? would there be any USE flags that would cause this? Yes I'm new at this by the way!

Thanks,
Bruce.

in my installations the /etc/autoload.d is still present.
while installing we have made the folder nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
as per doc. still my boot up flashes message "no modules auto loaded"
but all asked modules work with the kernel as they are loaded from /etc/conf.d/modules

i was wondering if to remove the manually made autoload folder. anyway i left it there.
except for the message it does no harm.

it is not removed automatically anyways by emerge of baselayout

baselayout2/openrc are still ~ marked, are you running a ~ system?
that would be a good reason why you got bl2/openrc.

I see! I too have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86". If I remove the "~x86" from make.conf and "emerge -uaND world", would that remove base layout or do I need to reinstall again?

Thanks,
Bruce.
