If you're using the default Debian kernel, it loads all of the modules from the initrd, before it even mounts root. If you want to see what's going on, run: mount -oloop /initrd.img /mnt and look in /mnt. It's a cramfs, which is read-only. The loadmodules script shows you all of the modules that are loaded on boot. If you want to change this stuff, you need to do this: mkdir /tmp/initrd cp -a /mnt/* /tmp/initrd edit scripts in /tmp/initrd as needed. mkcramfs /tmp/initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.21-3-686-mine Change the /initrd.img symlink to point to /boot/initrd.img-2.4.21-3-686-mine Run lilo. Reboot. I do this to force the loading of hardware RAID modules on boot, but you can remove the IDE modules this way also. M
