Well, it's right and wrong. Those modules don't need to be available
while booting but be loaded just after init is being run (I might be
wrong here) but if I got right there's a problem on 2.6.18 kernel that
doesn't instruct udev to load them and including them on
initramfs-tools/modules or /etc/modules is a nice workaround for the
problem.
Am I wrong?
