NAME

/etc/modules - kernel modules to load at boot time

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/modules file contains the names of kernel modules that are to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Argu- ments can be given in the same line as the module name. Comments begin with a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. If the special command auto appears as a module name the kerneld daemon is started immediately and other modules can be loaded automatically on demand. The default is to start kerneld when switching to initlevel 2, 3, 4 or 5. Thus modules needed at boot time can only be demand loaded with this option. The spe- cial command noauto disables kerneld completely. Debian GNU/Linux Version 1.1 1
