Hi Roberto ... Thanks for answering.

You did mean to type /etc/modules not /etc/modules.conf, right?

#: cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.


Nothing is in /etc/modules.  I found with 2.4.x kernels, I don't
need to pre-load sound modules to get either OSS or ALSA to work.

For comparison, if I boot 2.4.23 this is lsmod returns:
