The newer file name is switched and called conf.modules but the kernel module loader will look for both. >From the kernel source Documentation/modules.txt: Finally, for the "purists": You can name the modprobe configuration either "/etc/conf.modules" or "/etc/modules.conf", since modprobe knows what to do in each case... >> options ide-cd ignore=/dev/hdd >> options ide-scsi ignore=/dev/hdc >> >> which tells the modules to ignore the other drive. > > right. well, it seems that if i can work out what modules.conf is, > this should work! > The debian way is to make a file in /etc/modutils named anything you want and put in it the lines that you want to assemble in /etc/conf.modules. So make a file called for example cdrom and put the above lines in it. Then execute the command update-modules and it will create the /etc/conf.modules from all the files in /etc/modutils.
