I think the OP is referring to the list of modules for usb-storage and
suchlike. (That's the only one I've used and therefore remember the

Could it be signofocant that the next step is to detect and mount
the CD-ROM, which is the first time linux touches it. (I'm assuming
that up to this point the CD was read by the BIOS rather than linux.)
