>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
