The kernel doesn't load any modules itself, this is all handled by other
userspace processes (hotplug, discover, etc). To determine which of
these utilities is causing the problem, we will need to see a bootlog
off your system. Is it possible for you to hook up a serial console to
your computer and capture the boot process? If not, can you copy down
the parts where these modules are being loaded (with a few lines of
context on both sides)?
