AFAIK, it is the redhat initscripts which process this, not the kernel. Not really complex because everything else (kernel, device nodes) should be set up already (standard parts of rhel). If you have a cd-burner, the ide-scsi will also be set up by default (anaconda?) /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: # If they asked for ide-scsi, load it if strstr "$cmdline" ide-scsi ; then modprobe ide-cd >/dev/null 2>&1 modprobe ide-scsi >/dev/null 2>&1 fi If you add a cd-burner after the install, kudzu should detect it but I don't know if that can modify the boot config. If you did not want to use the redhat way, modules.conf is not the place, that is for autoloaded modules. The best place would be /etc/rc.d/rc.local John. > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at caosity.org > http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.it.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin
