When you rebuilt your kernel, you built these things into the kernel
instead of keeping them as external modules, but modules.conf didn't
get told about it, so your system is still trying to load the modules
it no longer needs. I just ignore it, but you should be able to get
rid of the messages by updating the files in /etc/modutils/ and then
running update-modules.
