I do not know exact answer but the modules seems to be loaded by trhe
hotplug.
Did you look into /etc/hotplug/* especially /etc/hotplug/blacklist
and files etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/* .
Maybe listing stv* modules in these blacklist may prevent them loading.
I see new modules, hotplug and udeb will be point of confusion for a
moment for me. I just had bad kernel crash after trying to update to
2.6.9 series while updating some 2.6.8. New Debian CD is not as simple
to use as a rescue disk since it uses a lot modules. ....
Woody boot image saved me.
