Hi Jim,
How do I find out the alias name for a particular module?
I tried putting an alias in /etc/modules.conf and tried
mkinitrd and rebooted the machine exactly as u told me. Didn't work.
Is there any other way to automatically load modules?
The modules in question are ip_conntrack_ftp.o and ip_nat_ftp.o.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards

[root@/]# lsmod this will list the current loaded modules and their
status

[root@/]# insmod modname this will install a module, it looks in the
current kernel dir ( /lib/modules/2.4.18-14 for Redhat 8.0)
[root@/]# modprobe modname this will install the mod and any
dependencies
it may have.

To get the new module to start up everytime it is easiest to do this:
1. Add the module and mod alias to /etc/modules.conf ( ie "alias eth0
3c90x" )
2. cd to /boot and run the below command
[root@/boot]# mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-'kernel'.img 'kernel' where
kernel is your current kernel version ( ie. initrd-2.4.18-14.img for
kernel 2.4.18-14)
make sure the /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf files have the initrd=
parameter pointed to this boot image ( initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
)
I'm not really sure if you can view the status of a modules that isn't
loaded.
However, I try not use use devices that Redhat does not support natively,
there are more that likely better and easier ways of doing this. This is
how I set up my Promise SuperTrak SX6000 card.
Also, try looking at the man pages for lsmod, insmod, rmmod, modprobe, and
mkinitrd. They'll help with the necessary switches for your system.
Hope this helps.

Hi List,
A few queries regarding modules.
1. How do I view the list of loaded modules in the running kernel?
2. How do I query the status (loaded or not) for a particular module?
3. How do I load a new module/s?
4. How do I make the OS load the new modules everytime the machine
restarts?
Thanks in advance
Rgds
