Does it have /etc/modprobe.preload ?

The purpose of those "aliases" is exactly to autoload the modules the first
time they are needed.

In CentOS add your "modprobe modulename" commands to /etc/rc.modules
file. Create it and make executable if it does not exist. But...

for IPMI someone has already hacked it - you should have a service
named ipmi ready to be started manually, and to start a service
automatically on each reboot all you have to do is to enable it for
the runlevels you wish it to run in using system-config-services
in GUI or chkconfig on the command line.

I don't seem to have this service. Maybe I have the wrong ipmi package
installed? THere are several matching "ipmi" under yum and I wasn't
really sure which ones I needed. I just know that ipmitool comes under
"OpenIPMI-tools" so I installed that one.

service ipmi status
ipmi: unrecognized service
