Oh! I thought you were just trying to get sound working. Yeah, as someone else noted, modprobe.conf, and, as I just looked and found, there's more in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist, where I see excerpt: alias char-major-116-* snd alias sound-service-*-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-*-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-*-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-*-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-*-12 snd-pcm-oss install sound-slot-* /sbin/modprobe snd-card-${MODPROBE_MODULE##sound[_-]slot[_-- ]} install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-pcc m-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss --- end excerpt --- right after USB and before NFS. I don't know if that's read before or after depmod.d/depmod.conf.dist, but presumably it's used by udev. mark
