Hello,

(I used to do this a long time ago, but things change, and forgot)


I have a custom kernel module that I can load with 'insmod mymod.ko 
ios=37' now, however, I want to load it automatically, at boot time, or 
right after booting.


Where do I copy the kernel module itself?


Do I create an entry/line in /etc/modules; like

mymod.ko ios=37

or do I need a /etc/modules-load.d/ios.conf ?  (and if so, where do I 
set the kernel module parameters?


(I need to run depmod, do I?)


thanks,


Ron
