2.6 does not use the modules.conf file?

[saturn-vk]

what's up with that?

every boot time when the kernel loads the bttv module, it loads it without any option (with card and tuner set to -1). I have to manually remove and the add the module with the appropriate option by hand to get my tuner up and running. Did they change it to a different file or something?

Are you using the kernel as you got it, or, have you recompiled? If 1), the module, or some module on which it depends, may not be compiled in by default, and you need to recompile. Or 2), if you recompiled, go back through the kernel config phase, and check the options you selected for this module. Especially, check the help file, which gives a brief discussion of what the module does, and any modules on which it may depend for proper function.
Hop this helps.

errrr, no.

like I said, I'm using the exact same options, but entering them manually along with the module itself. those options are the same as the ones in the modules.conf file. however, the 2.6 kernel doesn't want to use that file.

You are compiling bttv as a module only, not into the kernel right?

there is no modules.txt file
