Does Debian load LKM automatically? If it does, in which way? With the kernel module loader or with a kerneld daemon? I find that there is /etc/modules, but it list only a few modules. lsmod shows me many more. So I wonder how the other modules is loaded?
/etc/modules.conf tells the kernel what modules perform what features. When a kernel feature is requested by a program, the kernel looks into /etc/modules.conf to see if there is a module that supports that feature. If so, it's loaded.
Install the kernel sources, then read <kernel-source>/Documentation/kmod.txt. Also read "man modprobe.conf"
