[mythtv-users] Modules not being automatically loaded

[Robert Buchanan]

Hello,

I have followed the instructions in Jarod's guide to setting up mythtv
under FC2. I'm having a problem that when I boot up, only one
mythtv/lirc related kernel module is being loaded. I have done a
"/sbin/depmod -a" (as root) and have modified /etc/modprobe.conf as
suggested. In case it helps here is my /etc/modprobe.conf

#
lias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias eth0 sk98lin
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias net-pf-10 off
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 \
&& /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 \
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-
fb
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install \
lirc_i2c
#

Note: the line continuation characters do not actually appear in the
file, since the lines in the actual file are not split as in this email.

When I boot up only the lirc_dev module is loaded.
My /lib/modules/2.6.10/modules.dep seems to have the correct
dependencies:

I can load the modules (as root) by hand, but I would rather have the
system do it for me. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Thanks,
