What happed to /etc/modules.conf

Hi all,

In the install guide of my multi-card reader i see followng:
Add the following two commands to /etc/modules.conf
[INDENT]options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=5
below usb-storage sd_mod

[/INDENT]
Seems that file /etc/modules.conf no longer exist in 11.4. Anybody who can help me?

Thx

Split up into lots of files in /etc/modprobe.d/

Add your stuff to /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf.

Thx for reply.
I added the stuff to /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf.
After that I did the next step in the guide: “mount –a –t msdos /dev/sdb /mnt/CardReader
Output for that was:

Usage: mount -V                 : print version
       mount -h                 : print this help
       mount                    : list mounted filesystems
       mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount -t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
       mount -a -t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
       mount device             : mount device at the known place
       mount directory          : mount known device here
       mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
       mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
       mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
       mount --make-shared dir
       mount --make-slave dir
       mount --make-private dir
       mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
       mount --make-rshared dir
       mount --make-rslave dir
       mount --make-rprivate dir
       mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
Other options: -nfFrsvw] -o options] -p passwdfd].
For many more details, say  man 8 mount

Does that mean that I have someting wrong in “mount –a –t msdos /dev/sdb /mnt/CardReader”?

Thx

Yes.

I’m not sure there is type “msdos”. You can see the valid types in the
manual. You could try no type, see if the system autodetects it. Or you
could try vfat.

Also I would not use the “-a”.
