[SOLVED]Reloading modules into rc.conf

I decided to use splashy a while ago, so I installed initscripts-splashy and splashy itself, but then I decided against it after finding out the splash screen doesn't work when you shutdown or reboot. So I removed initscripts-splashy, and reinstalled initscripts. The problem is that my rc.conf is now empty of all the daemons I added, and most importantly, the modules that were loaded when I installed arch.

Is there any way to get my old rc.conf back, or a way to make arch detect all the modules again and write them in my rc.conf?

Re: [SOLVED]Reloading modules into rc.conf

if you have MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes", and you start udev at boot you don't need any, apart from modules like fuse.

this is my modules list

MODULES=(!pcspkr fuse)

actually I don't think I need fuse either.

Check for a file named rc.conf.pacsave in your /etc directory.

Sorry for the late response, but it seems you were carlocci, everything turned out alright without any modules written in rc.conf.

Thanks for your help guys.

Of course I was carlocci!
you can detect modules with programs like hwd

hwd -e

autodetect many of the modules you might need, lsmod showd you modules which are loaded on a running system
