Three ideas come to mind. First, you could get rid of hotplug, but you
probably don't want that. Second, you could recompile your kernel to make
those into modules, instead of compiled in. But the best solution
(perhaps?) is to edit /etc/modules and remove the offending, no longer
needed entries. Then bootup won't attempt to load them.
Hope that helps,
