Module parameters

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

Use module parameters to configure kernel modules that are compiled as separate modules that can be loaded by the kernel.

Separate kernel modules must be loaded before they can be used. Many modules are loaded automatically by SUSE Linux® Enterprise Server 15 SP5 when they are needed and you use YaST to specify the module parameters.

To keep the module parameters in the context of the device driver or feature module to which they apply, this information describes module parameters as part of the syntax you would use to load the module with modprobe.

To find the separate kernel modules for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5, list the contents of the subdirectories of /lib/modules/<kernel-release> in the Linux file system. In the path, <kernel-release> denotes the kernel level. You can query the value for <kernel-release> with uname -r.
