Before demand loading can work you need to put the path to the module loader program in /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe (from memory). Yes, that makes booting a portable kernel using initrd more complex... -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
