    My laptop is running 2.4-test4. I just made a clean build, etc. Using
    the same config I've used for a LONG time. I just noticed thought that
    the 2.4 kernel, versus the 2.2 kernel is loading all the modules:

    I know this isn't right as my floppy isn't even plugged into the machine.
    Thoughts?
