Re: {BIG MISTAKE} - what is modules.conf

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@belial.ucdavis.edu>]

ok, so modules.conf is created by a call to update-modules.

suppose i compile a new kernel.  where along the process is conf.modules
updated?  all i ever see 'make modules' do is compile, and 'make
modules_install' simply moves stuff around.   surely, this file has to be
modified when you compile a new kernel?

also, why only one file?  most people have 2 or 3 kernels laying around, and
sometimes very different ones (i have 2.2.17, 2.2.17-nosound, 2.4.0 and
2.2.16).   wouldn't it make more sense to have one for each kernel?
