OK, just to clarify, because what you say above is different from your subject line: you *are* able to unload the modules. It's just that when you boot the next time, they load again, and you don't want them to. You want the unloading to be permanent. Right? As you've already checked /etc/modules . . .find out if you have the "discover" package installed. It's software that detects your hardware and loads appropriate drivers; in the boot sequence, it runs before the ALSA scripts do. If so, the OSS modules are probably being inserted by it. You can edit /etc/discover.conf to prevent discover from loading specific modules. I'm not sure about ide-scsi -- I wouldn't have thought that discover would mess with that, but you can check. Check also your lilo.conf or grub menu (depending on which you're using) to see if it's being called for in the kernel boot arguments. It might be helpful to look at the logs of the boot process and see just *when* ide-scsi is loaded, and what's going on in the boot process around then. That would give a clue as to what's doing it. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
