no, device drivers that you have complied into the kernel. If you compiled
drivers for hardware your machine does not have, those drivers may hang your
system during dependence checking due to the fact that kmod will try to load it
to check it's dependences. Most modules will deal with this gracefully while
others may hang the machine. First things first, if you hit ctrl-c does it
continue to boot. if so it's a problem with it reading modules that are no
longer in the kernel, and doing what i said above will relieve the problem.
