Module Size Used by st 24796 0 (autoclean) binfmt_aout 3580 0 3c59x 17668 1 (autoclean) ipx 12204 0 (autoclean) nls_cp437 3540 2 (autoclean) sd_mod 15692 5 BusLogic 30888 5 scsi_mod 36472 3 [st sd_mod BusLogic] Is there any way to 'autodetect' a.out binaries and load `binfmt_aout` when it's needed, rather than the present where I get a 'Cannot execute binary file' error, at which time I have to load the module by hand?? I think this is a loaded question, i.e., it is supposed to work just like other drivers. Script started on Mon Mar 29 10:25:06 1999 # ls bash: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file # insmod binfmt_aout # ls .Xauthority WorkFolder [SNIPPED] # exit exit Script done on Mon Mar 29 10:25:39 1999 The aliases in /etc/conf.modules are what were given me by `modprobe -c` # Generated by modprobe -c (2.1.23) # Aliases alias binfmt-387 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-267 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-264 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-263 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-204 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-2 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-0107 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-204 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-263 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-264 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-267 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-387 binfmt_aout alias binfmt-332 iBCS alias binfmt--310 binfmt_java [Nonpertainent aliases SNIPPED] Perhaps I'm missing one?
