Me neither, but I guess that a init script checks for *modules* would
be quite, well, innovative approach (or, more direct: stupid), there is
the /sys hierarchy, and /proc/devices. 
Modules are the most unreliable way ;-) Anyway.

Which means it wont happen. Ok, but since I don't have a guaranteed way
to reproduce this problem I cannot check it either.

Anyway, I wait for comments of util-linux maintainers, maybe they have
better suggestions.

Best wishes and thanks a lot
