lcfg-hardware - LCFG hardware component
This documentation refers to lcfg-hardware version 0.100.19
This component configures hardware. The main purpose is managing the modprobe configuration. It also manages the setting of the keyboard layout and some graphics card related options.
Be aware when managing your modprobe configuration that Redhat systems REQUIRE that any SCSI hostadapter modules be listed in the /etc/modprobe.conf file for rebuilding the kernel initrd. Most other systems, for example those which are Debian-based, use modprobe to parse the whole configuration (including any files in /etc/modprobe.d). This means that on Redhat systems SCSI modules must be added via the modlist resource.
The path to the kernel modules configuration file, defaults to /etc/modprobe.conf
A list of chmod commands to set protection on device files.
The chmod command for tag entry.
A list of kernel module rules to be added to the /etc/modprobe.conf file.
The kernel module rule associated with tag.
A list of kernel modules for which you want to add aliases. If the module name cannot be expressed as a normal LCFG tag you can use the modname_tag resource.
The alias for the kernel module referred to by tag.
A list of kernel modules for which you want to set load-time options. If the module name cannot be expressed as a normal LCFG tag you can use the modname_tag resource.
The load-time options for the kernel module referred to by tag.
A list of kernel modules for which you instead want to run load-time commands. If the module name cannot be expressed as a normal LCFG tag you can use the modname_tag resource.
The arbitrary shell command which should be run instead of loading the kernel module.
A list of kernel modules for which you instead want to run unload-time commands. If the module name cannot be expressed as a normal LCFG tag you can use the modname_tag resource.
The arbitrary shell command which should be run instead of unloading the kernel module.
A list of kernel modules for which the internal aliases are to be ignored. If the module name cannot be expressed as a normal LCFG tag you can use the modname_tag resource.
A list of modules to be installed at boot time. Options for the module loader can be specified by use of a modopt_module resource. The module name for this module can be overriden by use of a modname_module resource - this is useful when the module file lives in a non standard location. The modloader_module resource specifies which loader to use.
Module loader options for module module
This resource can be used to override the name of the module given to the module loader.
Specifies which module loader to use for this module. Defaults to /sbin/insmod.
A list of tags specifying device aliases to be created in /dev.
The alias to be created for the specified device tag. If this resource is missing, it defaults to the same as the tag.
The name of the device file for the specified device tag.
If set to "yes", a Synaptics Trackpoint or Touchpad will be reset.
If set to "yes", the PCI or AGP card with the video card will be configured to be a bus master (using setpci)

This is the list of platforms on which we have tested this software. We expect this software to work on any Unix-like platform.
