iv had this problem, with slakware 3.6
i found that the modules did seem to work, however the messages did seem  to slow
down the boot up
i found that removing the module dependencies thing from the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
ut went away
all teh modules i needed to load either via compiled into teh kernel or loaded as
modules work fine
