[Q] what to modify to autoload a kernel module @ boot?

[Q] how autoload a kernel module @ boot?
hi.
I have ''simple', one-click rooted (via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103), 'stock' android 2.1 on a Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G.
i've upgraded to latest/full busybox (http://www.appbrain.com/app/busybox/stericson.busybox) with run-parts support.
I've found/installed 'tun.ko' kernel module for my platform, and verified that it's insmod-able.
I need to load that tun.ko kernel module on boot. Where do I add that module specification so it sticks?
direct mods to anything "/init*" get overwritten @ boot ... from ramdisk.img, iiuc.
i've created /system/lib/init.d/tun, but that needs busybox run-parts to exec/load @ boot ... same issue. mods to, e.g. init.rc get overwritten @ reboot.
any hints here?
thanks!

[NookHD+] cifs.ko for conveniently mount/unmount samba drive (MS Windows/NAS)

Here is a cifs.ko module for stock rom 2.1.0
It make your Nook HD+ to mount/unmount samba drive (MS Windows/NAS) and transparently access the files via any Android app (such as playing video by MX Player)
for more detail, pls reference CifsManager v1.5a - Manage your CIFS/NFS network shares
PS : nls_utf8.ko is optional module for "iocharset=utf8"

That's good news. I thought that the stock kernel was not handling CIFS. Thanks! I am really looking forward to CIFS on the HD+.
Now, just to confirm, you have tried this on a stock 2.1? I have just tried it on a CM10.1 ROM which I thought was using the B&N 2.1 kernel but the module won't load...

It work on my nook hd+ with stock rom 2.1.0
I build it from stock 2.1.0 source, so it may not work on CM10.1; try to build your own one with CM10.1 source code
Stock rom Source code

Step:
1) Setup environment, make sure all path are correct
export PATH=/media/ubuntu/USB_HDD/arm-2010q1/libexec/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.4.1:/media/ubuntu/USB_HDD/arm-2010q1/bin:/media/ubuntu/USB_HDD/distro/u-boot/tools:$PATH
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/media/ubuntu/USB_HDD/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
2) install ncurses
apt-get update
apt-cache search ncurses
apt-get install
3) unzip source code and Compile Tools
4) cd kernel
make distclean
make ovation_ics_defconfig
make menuconfig
goto File systems → Network File Systems → CIFS support, mark it as "modules"
5) make modules
6) build completed, copy fs/cifs/cifs.ko to your nook hd+

Do we flash these through CWM?

unzip the file to your sd card or ext-sd card and load it by cifs manager

It's not needed in CM10.1 because I already ship cifs.ko by default

Thanks. So I did build it from source only to realize that my problem was somewhere else and that the cifs.ko module that comes with verygreen's CM10.1 ROM works perfectly.
Well, now I know...

NTFS automounter for Kitkat touchwiz

I have made an NTFS automount script following how touchwiz mounts usbotg drives in vold.
This script will allow touchwiz to automount ur NTFS drive with RW like how touchwiz auto mounts fat or exfat drives.
This script requires
1) Root access ( su )
2) init.d execution
3) SE must be disable/permissive
4) busybox in /system/bin (u may edit the script urself if you wan to change the busy box location
5) must be kitkat 4.4.2 touchwiz based rom and stock based modified kernels.
it is currently tested on DN3 V5.2 with Android 4.4.2 AGNi pureSTOCK v4.2.2. i believe it will work on all kitkat stock roms.
This is currently still a beta, it is still based on bash and it poles /dev/block for ntfs once every 1sec. I am still testing the effect of it to battery life.
attached is the recovery zip flash file to installed the script. Please let me know of any bugs or any improvement or any feedback regarding the script. thanks.

Credits to shardul_seth for his usbotghelper app, i got his ntfs-3g binary from his app. Parts of the script were inspired by him.

Hello,

You can install the kernel with twrp for example. Just extract the zipfile and use the included zipfile for installing with twrp.

Does anyone have a 110 kernel with mount namespace backported for magisk hide?

I would like to get PS4 remote play working but I need magisk hide to properly work. It only works on 3.8 kernels by default and the latest kernel for us on the shield portable is 3.4.... unless someone has backported "mount namespace" to the 3.4 kernel like this (https://github.com/zanezam/boeffla-kernel-cm-n51x0/commit/ec1444c559a61e1892bd8bfc8f30303b0a105190).
