reads files from the above directories which contain
|
|
kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
|
|
Each configuration file is named in the style of
|
|
<filename>/etc/modules-load.d/<program>.conf</filename>. Note
|
|
that it is usually a better idea to rely on the
|
|
automatic module loading by PCI IDs, USB IDs, DMI IDs
|
|
or similar triggers encoded in the kernel modules
|
|
themselves instead of static configuration like
|
|
this. In fact, most modern kernel modules are prepared
|
|
for automatic loading already.</para>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration files should simply contain a
|
|
list of kernel module names to load, separated by
|
|
newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
|
|
non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file shall be named in the
|
|
style of <filename><program>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>
|
|
and <filename>/run/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> override files with the
|
|
same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages
|
|
should install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
|
|
administrator, who may use this logic to override the
|
|
configuration files installed from vendor
|
|
packages.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a
|
|
configuration file supplied by the vendor the
|
|
recommended way is to place a symlink to
|
|
<filename>/dev/null</filename> in
|
|
<filename>/etc/modules-load.d/</filename> bearing the
|
|
same file name.</para>
