Right. (Not that I would not like to have one :)

During installation. How often does one install?

AFAIK they are incuded in the sid kernels (at least, maybe etch too) and you
can easily manually load them. Problem solved. (And _if_ they weren't in the
kernel, the kernel team would need to enable them, and Sven is part of the
kernel team. And if they are not in etch, it's the kernel teams duty again.)
A note for the d-i RC1 errata ("do $this+that after installation to make the
fans less noisy") would defintly be nice - but certainly anybody with access
to the hardware can write such a note.
(Basically it's in the last commits at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/trunk/packages/rootskel/src/lib/debian-installer-startup.d/?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=1
which I cannot access atm (writing offline) and all you need to do do is to
load three modules.)
regards,
Holger
