These are all wrong and should be either deleted or at least the ".load"
should be removed. The best thing is probably to delete them completely
(except maybe for the sbp2 module, no idea what that is really; the
others were needed in the past for 2.4 and early 2.6 kernels).
This has already been fixed in current daily builds.

Result of the above.

Relatively harmless message. You can get rig of it by either blacklisting
that module for discover or uninstalling discover.
Discover is only really needed now to help detect your graphics card for
Xorg and not anymore for loading modules during boot.

Same.

All harmless. Caused by discover trying to do the same thing as already
done by udev. Again, uninstalling discover will get rid of the messages.
Is it OK if we close your report? It seems to me that all issues have been
sufficiently covered by now.
With all the problems you've had (they do add up a bit), you may want to
think about installing once more using a current daily build. As I've
said, we've fixed a lot of errors that you encountered and your reports
have really helped with that. It may help you get a "cleaner" system in
the long run.
Cheers,
FJP
