CentOS - Mar 2005 - udev&bttv

Hello,

I have re-compiled the CentOS 4.0 kernel in order
to have support for my bt878 chipset based TV-card.
How could i make sure the bttv module is automatically
loaded at boot time?Since there isn''t a /etc/module.conf
I get the feeling it''s a bit different with udev systems.

kind regards,


Peter Harmsen

/etc/modules.conf does not load anything at boot.  It allow you to
configure which modules to load on demand.

try (untested on CentOS-4):
echo "modprobe bt878" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

there is a /etc/modprobe.conf in CentOS4 which does about the same stuff
