.. or we could just bite the bullet and split GENERIC into GENERIC (which would have modules for everything) and GENERIC_NOMODULES. Then just populate a default module list that goes into /boot/loader.conf. If you're even more evil, you could populate a module list that goes into /boot/<kernel>/module.conf.default, and then allow that to be overridden. Point is - a modular kernel works, right now. What we're missing is a way to load them at boot time by the bootloader. Well, enough of them to bring up the system so the rest can be autoloaded as needed. _That_ whole mess would be a great GSoC project. Adrian
