Hey (again),
sometimes there are a few bugs in the kernel makefile or something.
Some modules that you didn't ask to be compiled are looked for at boot
time. But don't worry, it doesn't change anything.
If you want to load additionnal modules at boot time (you could have
compiled them in the kernel, you know....), you can just edit the
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file and add something like:
case `uname -r` in
2.0.*)
modprobe <some 2.0.* module>;;
2.1.*)
modprobe <modules that are only in 2.1.*>;;
esac
I prefere modprobe to insmod, because it automaticly loads modules
dependencies.
Papi
