Bug 30275 – /etc/modules.autoload isn't used anymore. It should be /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.*

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Gregg Barbato 2003-10-03 13:56:19 UTC]

/etc/modules.autoload isn't used anymore.  It should 
be /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.*

In the docs it states "If you have an IDE cd burner, then you need to enable 
SCSI emulation in the kernel. Turn on "ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support" ---> "IDE, ATA 
and ATAPI Block devices" ---> "SCSI emulation support" (I usually make it a 
module), then under "SCSI support" enable "SCSI support", "SCSI CD-ROM support" 
and "SCSI generic support" (again, I usually compile them as modules). If you 
also choose to use modules, then echo -e "ide-scsi\nsg\nsr_mod" 
>> /etc/modules.autoload to have them automatically added at boot time. "  
below code listing 19.3 and above code listing 19.4.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
The /etc/modules.autoload may not load the modules/may be overwritten easily.  
It should be extremly recomended to use /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.* (* 
for whichever kernel version, i.e. 4,5,6).

Patch with "Kerne" fix :)

You had a typo ("Kerne" instead of "kernel"). Patch looks good for the rest.
