Debian loads too many modules at boot
Hello,
I am running Debian Sarge. Whenever Debian boots, it loads almost
every modules present in /lib/modules/kernel-number. This causes boot
times to be in the rage of 5 minutes for me. I think discover is
casuing this. Has anybody managed to reduce boot time, while still
having some hardware detection ? Discover loads up modules that do not
even relate to my hardware.
Just for kicks, here is the output from lsmod I have now
