https://bbs.archlinux.org – @tomegunYour idea of using a separate file is appealing.  It would eliminate the clutter of having 50+ modules listed in rc.conf.  It would also be much easer to read with only one module per line.  However, I am concerned that this may be an atypical solution as I do not have an /etc/load-modules.d/ folder.  What packages/daemons/etc are required to implement this?@ngooneeI am trying to stay away from AUR until I become more familiar with Arch.  Also, as a long term solution to such a vital part of the system, I would prefer to pull from the most stable repository pos (HowTos)

I keep getting errors on startup in Arch relating to my rc.conf:

failed to load module "wl" failed to load module "lib80211"

etc. It lists all the modules in my /etc/rc.conf

This is my full rc.conf: http://pastebin.com/DvbR0MBg

Cannot load the acerhdf module 1 year 44 weeks ago

Hi all,I'm trying to load the acerhdf module that should control the fan-speed for my Acer 1810TZ.

I installed a package using apt-get which in turn attempted to install a load of kernel modules, which can not be done since I am inside an OpenVZ environment. I moved all the module files out of the way, hoping it would stop trying to install them, and I uninstalled the offending software which made this mess. I am still getting this error.

I've long been dreaming of software that I could implement in my projects. I've seen and used different packages for this, but I'd love to have a system that would:

Allow me to load javascript/css "modules" on a per-page basis.

My apologies if this has been already answered elsewhere.Now that modules configuration has been moved out of /etc/rc.conf, I consider the new way - using /etc/modules-load.d/<modulename> - vastly inferior.

I've just begun moving my Arch system to systemd, and started by moving the deprecated parts of rc.conf to their respective configuration files.

The rc.conf wiki article lists files for most options, and I assume I should just move the relevant lines from rc.conf to those files. But what about the HARDWARE sections? A directory is listed there: /etc/modules-load.d/.
