OK you sent me the info which is -
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root  root 6122 Jun 23 20:31 /etc/modules.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root  root 10489 Jun 23 15:32 /lib/modules/2.4.5/modules.dep

This confirms what I was thinking.  The time-stamp on 
/lib/modules/2.4.5/modules.dep is changed on boot.  You want to change
the time-stamp on /etc/modules.conf instead.  Set it so the date is
behind (or older than) that of /lib/modules/2.4.5/modules.dep
That worked for me anyway -
-rw-r--r--    1 root root 1552 Jun 13 21:41 /lib/modules/2.4.4/modules.dep
-rw-r--r--    1 root root 3486 Apr  1 03:00 /etc/modules.conf
hth,
