53 <title>Description</title>
54
55 <para><command>systemd</command> uses
56 <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/</filename> to configure
57 kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
58 Each configuration file is named in the style of
59 <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/&lt;program&gt;.conf</filename>. Note
ae92f426 60 that it is usually a better idea to use the automatic
a7c64469
LP
61 module loading by PCI ID, by DMI ID or similar
62 triggers configured in the kernel modules themselves
63 instead of relying on static configuration like
64 this.</para>

68 <title>Configuration Format</title>
69
70 <para>The configuration files should simply contain a
ae92f426 71 list of kernel module names to load, separated by
a7c64469
LP
72 newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
73 non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>
