OK.  But, you really shouldn't need to do that (as you know).  Modules 
really aren't supposed to be loaded unless needed, so that conversely, if 
they're loaded they must be needed by someone even if it's only the bootup 
process.

Maybe there's a kernel-oriented mailing list you can ask on that will give 
you some more specific help.

Good luck...
