Re: Loading kernel modules permanently

[Les Birman <lesunix attbi com>]

Rick,
These are the modules needed to be able to run cdrecord.  I've got an IDE
CDRW drive so the SCSI simulation driver(s) must be loaded.  I've had to
tell the kernel not to load the the IDE CD-ROM driver when booting by adding
a line in my lilo.conf file.   Also had to redo the link  in /dev for the
cdrom to point to the simulated scsi device (cdrom -> scd0).  There is no
access to the CDRW drive unless I insmod the aforementioned modules.  Also
can not run cdrecord because it complains about no CDRW drive found (until I
manually load the modules).  So why do you think these modules should
autload?

I'm running Redhat 7.0 (all updates applied), kernel 2.2.19-7.0.16

Thanks for all your help.  The knowledge of the people who respond to this
list is absolutely incredible!
