Really, it depends on when this module is needed. If it's for a scsi controller, or other critical system disk, it needs to be in the initrd. If it can be loaded after the system is mostly running (network devices, usb bits, etc) then it can be slapped in other module locations. What sort of module is blkbk?
They are used in Xen. I need netbk, xenblk, blktap, blkbk, and netloop. If I modprobe them from the console, then start a vm everything is groovy so I am sure when they load isn't an issue especially if they can handle early loading with my custom initrd.
Was my modprobe.conf syntax right?
Thanks for all your help! jlc
