MODULES(5)

NAME
/etc/modules - kernel modules to load at boot time

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/modules file contains the names of kernel modules that are to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Arguments can be given in the same line as the module name. Comments begin with a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. If the special command auto appears as a module name the kerneld daemon is started immediately and other modules can be loaded automatically on demand. The default is to start kerneld when switching to initlevel 2, 3, 4 or 5. Thus modules needed at boot time can only be demand loaded with this option. The special command noauto disables kerneld completely.
