Over the last couple of days I suffered my first real problem with automatic module loading. It happened after a system update using Code: pacman -Syu there were quite a few package updates, a kernel update etc and after a reboot the sound stopped working. I finally cured the problem by adding !snd_cmipci to MODULES in /etc/rc.conf. This was after copying my Gentoo kernel .config and compiling a custom kernel to convince myself it was a kernel related problem . I guess next time I'll consider modules a bit earlier in the process . ... anyway - do you use Code: MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in /etc/rc.conf ?
