Yes, I get a list of  a whole bunch of these. Most appear to be things totally 
irrelevant to my system. For example, 

If they are necessary, why try (and fail) to remove them?
If they are not necessary, why load them?

For example, one appears to be an alsa sound driver like cs5530 not releated 
to any device I have. Here are my permanent lsmod entries. (There are more 
here than on that error list which I do not have handy right now.) Some (like 
ide, atixp, etc) are obviously needed and I do not remember them being 
flagged on the errolist. Several sound devices which are not on my machine 
appear here (cs####, via82cxx, opti621 ??).
