i finally discovered what happened. i'm on debian slink 2.1. `/etc/init.d/modutils start` scans the /etc/modules file for modules to load. if there is an "auto" line, it starts kerneld and modprobe all the listed modules. if there is not an "auto" line, it just modprobe all the modules. although i remembered to comment the 'auto' line out which keeps kerneld from running (because i'm running kmod), i should have just killed the /etc/rcS.d/S20modutils symlink so modprobe wouldn't forcibly load stuff i didn't necessarily want to load. -stephen Harald Kießling wrote: > > how is it possible to load the aic7xxx module in /etc/modules? > > thanx > Harald > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: owner-aic7xxx@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-aic7xxx@FreeBSD.ORG]Im > Auftrag von Stephen Waters > Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 22.
