Installing Nero 4 on Mageia 5 ... [SOLVED]

[ghmitch]

Hello all. I just ended up installing Mageia 5 64bit when I could no longer deal with security issues on Mageia 3 32bit. One of the challenges I encountered was to install my old Nero 4 burning application on Mageia 5. Attempting to install the neroLinux package errored out fatally with cpio errors. So I ended up extracting the cpio data from the package via rpm2cpio giving me the file nerolinux-4.0.0.0b-x86_64.cpio in place of nerolinux-4.0.0.0b-x86_64.rpm. As root I then did `cat nerolinux-4.0.0.0b-x86_64.cpio | cpio -idv` from '/'. This time the cpio data installed flawlessly. I then attempted to execute the application. It failed with "no devices found". Executing `modprobe sg` fixed that problem and I then proceed to burn a DVD with Nero without a hitch. So the program now works normally.

At this point my only question is for Mageia 5, where and how should I insure that the 'sg' module gets installed at boot time?

Adding the line
sg
to /etc/modprobe.preload works for me.
