<glossdef>
<para>
Lists kernel modules that need to be auto-loaded during
boot.
<note>
This variable replaces the deprecated
<link linkend='var-module_autoload'><filename>module_autoload</filename></link>
variable.
</note>
</para>
<para>
You can use the <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename>
variable anywhere that it can be
recognized by the kernel recipe or by an out-of-tree kernel
module recipe (e.g. a machine configuration file, a
distribution configuration file, an append file for the
recipe, or the recipe itself).
</para>
<para>
Specify it as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD = "modname1 modname2 modname3"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Including <filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename> causes
the OpenEmbedded build system to populate the
<filename>/etc/modules-load.d/modname.conf</filename>
file with the list of modules to be auto-loaded on boot.
The modules appear one-per-line in the file.
Here is an example of the most common use case:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD = "modname"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
For information on how to populate the
<filename>modname.conf</filename> file with
<filename>modprobe.d</filename> syntax lines, see the
<link linkend='var-KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF'><filename>KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF</filename></link>
variable.
