need to load pcspkr kernel module at boot...

Asked by David Tilbrook

how to make a modprobe happen as part of boot...

To enable beeping, I had to:

     modprobe pcspkr

however, when I reboot I have to do it again.

How do I get it made part of the boot process, short of
adding it excplicitly?

Run:

echo "pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null

and it will be loaded at boot

Thank you.

I imagine that

      echo pcspkr >> /etc/modules

will work as well.

If you run it as root, yes. Sudo don't traverse redirection so sudo tee has to be used.
