From: linux cbon To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 801 Lines: 19 Hi, I am experimenting a rc.sysinit without udev. Only creating /dev with mount -t devtmpfs dev /dev It also mounts /proc and /sys and /tmp and /var . So the kernel boots up loading a lot of hardware, but some important modules are not loaded , like sound, network and video. I am not sure how to have them auto loaded by the kernel without udev ? I though kernel would have some kind of auto-loading of the right modules, without needing any help like udev. I don't know the simplest and easiest way to achieve this ? Thanks for your help.
