.TH MODULES 5 "Version 1.1" "Debian GNU/Linux"
.SH NAME
/etc/modules - kernel modules to load at boot time
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.B /etc/modules
file contains the names of kernel modules that are to be loaded at boot
time, one per line. Arguments can be given in the same line as the module
name. Comments begin with a `#', and everything on the line after them are
ignored. If the special command
.B auto
appears as a module name the kerneld daemon is started immediately and other
modules can be loaded automatically on demand. The default is to start kerneld
when switching to initlevel 2, 3, 4 or 5. Thus modules needed at
boot time can only be demand loaded with this option.
The special command
.B noauto
disables kerneld completely.
