Re: please help a newbie, red hat 8 and cs4610

ok so I finally got the sound working (well enough at
least for now).  For mp3's I just needed the plugin
from www.xmms.org because redhat 8 does not include in
the installation for some reason.  The audio cd's were
working fine already.  And as for the wav files, I
took out the old alsa files and used the newest
developmental files instead.  The trick ended up being
that even though my soundcard is cs4610, I had to
modprobe cs4232 and ad1848.  My only problem now is
that I have to modprobe these 2 modules every time I
restart the computer using ONLY the root account.  Is
there a way that I can get linux to modprobe these two
modules at boot up automatically without me having to
do it manually each time?
