What is The Right Way(TM) to automatically load the kernel module sg?
It somehow feels wrong to put a 'modprobe sg' in /etc/rc.local
On FC4, I use a script /etc/sysconfig/modules/scanner.modules that
contains:

Paul.
So there is no modules.autoload file or something?
No, there isn't.
The "traditional" way was to put something in /etc/rc.modules but that's
deprecated now.
Fortunately, there appears to be a replacement: Put scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules. (Read /etc/rc.sysinit and scan for
"modules".)
Paul.
Oh I forgot, it's FC3, so it will be /etc/rc.local then I guess
/etc/rc.modules is fine for FC3.
The nice thing about these techniques is that they load modules early in
the boot process, so they are there when the startup scripts run.
/etc/rc.local is run last, so startups that need those modules won't have
them when they run.
Thanks anyway
