I'm assuming it has something to do with hal udev or hotplug (sorry, I'm not familiar with the actual implementation). Anyway, if they load the module, shouldn't it still look through the modprobe.conf for any options, etc? Anyway, here's the situation again. I've put into modprobe.conf the following: install snd-intel8x0m /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0m && touch /tmp/slmodem-loading which obviously means that on loading the drivers, it should touch a file in /tmp called slmodem-loading. well once the computer has booted i check through lsmod, and it has loaded snd-intel8x0m. but there is no /tmp/slmodem-loading. If I do it manually, it creates the file /tmp/slmodem-loading. Would this be a bug that whatever is first loading snd-intel8x0m does not seem to be loading whatever I've set in modprobe.conf? How do I figure out who is loading snd-intel8x0m on first run? Thanks! dex
