Is there any documentation anywhere describing how the different mechanisms for loading modules fit together? As well as /etc/modules, /etc/modules.conf, /etc/modprobe.d, /etc/modutils and hotplug there a default install now also has discover.
Don't forget module-init-tools: does more or less the exact same thing as modutils but for 2.6. If you have had a 2.4 and a 2.6 kernel on the same machine, you may well have both packages running at startup, irrespective of kernel version.
