Hello Kai, while interesting I can't go from devices.txt to conf.modules
well. There are just a lot of devices listed. I thought that kerneld used
the data in /lib/modules/2.2.5/modules.dep, but maybe not. Reading
modules.txt about kerneld states it loads modules on demand from the
kernel and unloads them a minute later, thus saving ram.
