[Originally from <[email protected]>. Please followup to <[email protected]>.] Circa 2002-11-15 08:30:21 +0800 dixit alan sinclair: : apologies for this drifting off-topic (off RPM that is) : but I really will appreciate pointers to educate myself : : > You'd need to know if the target machine is using : > the kernel module loader, in which case ppost : > and ppostun would be scriptlets to add the required : > lines to /etc/modules.conf. If the kernel module : > loader is not being used (read: modules are to be : > loaded "manually"), those scriptlets would have to : > modify whichever facility is going to be used : : we have two modules which need to be loaded, one before : and one after the linux boot plumbs the network adapters : -- please can someone point me to any info that would : help me learn how? I.e. not to RPM docs, but info on : how linux orders the starting of things, and how to add : our modules into the process. : : E.g. I've read some on writing rc scripts, but haven't : found how these are ordered (nor whether net adapters : are enumerated there. Right now, this is mostly implementation-dependent. The Linux Standard Base (LSB, http://www.linuxbase.org/ ) contains some distribution-independent provisions for ordering of startup scripts, which should work on LSB-compliant environments. The current LSB draft is v1.3, which is available for public review now ( http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/index.shtml ). In particular, the chapter on System Initialization looks like it would be helpful ( http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/sysinit.html ).
