I am replying myself, because I have more infos:

My /etc/modules looks like this:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a #, and everything on the line after them are ignored.
binfmt_aout
binfmt_misc
nfs
nfsd
smbfs
vfat
pcnet32
ppp
sg


The described problem still occurs. (At boot, I get errors about
modprobe not finding the above modules)

The thing is that my .config in the kernel source tree only has one item
modulized:

# grep =m .config
CONFIG_DUMMY=m

1)	So, should I simply comment out what's in /etc/modules? Is this the
	*proper* way of doing this?

2)	Where do these values in /etc/modules come from? I suppose they're
	from the original kernel installed...? (2.2.15 that is for me)

I'd be glad about any replies.

TIA
Sven
