Hello Matt, Thank you for your answer. The driver is a simple one (hello) and does not require any hardware.

I believe the reason it is not installing as you would like with the automatic /etc/modules method is that it requires hardware to be detected before it loads the driver. It will not automatically load drivers unless it detects hardware that needs them.

Hello Mulyadi,
Thank you for your response.
I read the best way to automatically insert a module is via the /etc/modules (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-load-a-kernel-module-automatically...).
Don't forget I use Ubuntu 11.04.
I tried the rc.local: It works perfectly.
I searched for initramfs file but didn't find at all under Ubuntu.
Sincerely,
Yacob Hassidim.

________________________________ Hello everyone,
I ask for help to insert/install module automatically in boot time.
I use Ubuntu 11.04.
I try to insert a module automatically in boot time.
I added the name of my module (hello) to the file /etc/modules.
I don't think that is the place.
Boot time? perhaps better to put your modprobe/insmod calling your module in something like rc.local, or manually modify your initrd/initramfs so that it load your module earlier.
