First, a nitpick. Please don't reply to existing messages to create a new
thread. Instead, send a new message to debian-user@lists.debian.org. Your
message appeared at the very bottom of an Amiga/Linux one.
To automatically load any modules at bootup,
Just list the modules you want loaded at the bottom of /etc/modules
Or, if you want sound modules to autoload when needed, put something
like this in /etc/modutils/sound (modifying for your setup):
alias char-major-14 sb
post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card"
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=3 mpu_io=0x330
options adlib_card io=0x388
options sound dmabuf=1
and run update-modules. Voila! Whenever you need sound, the modules will
load, and when you don't, they unload themselves.
