Kernel modules loaded twice

[Piero Piutti <chromewave@gmail.com>]

Hello.

I run Etch with a custom build 2.6.12 kernel ("vanilla" with the CK patches 
applied and built using kpkg). The kernel has been configured according to my 
hardware (my pc is a HP NX9010 notebook) and it works nicely.

I have noticed though that during the boot sequence, a few errors appear 
regarding some modules: i2c-ali1535, i2c-ali15x3 and joydev complain that 
they are "already loaded", while rtc "can't be loaded" (it looks like rtc.ko 
cannot be found). Despite these glitches the system runs fine. I'm about to 
recompile the kernel to further tune it and I would like to get rid of these 
messages. What can I do?

Output of lsmod is following (hoping it is useful):

adam:~# lsmod
