No, don't fiddle with `auto-mode-alist' unless it is already mapping `.info' to the wrong mode. > I jump to info mode with saved bookmarks. I have tried C-h i. It works > for my own info file.

If `C-h i' works for your own file, but not for some others, then they are not listed in the `dir' that you are using.
