AW: aic7xxx bug?

[Stephen Waters]

i finally discovered what happened. i'm on debian slink 2.1.
`/etc/init.d/modutils start` scans the /etc/modules file for modules to
load. if there is an "auto" line, it starts kerneld and modprobe all the
listed modules. if there is not an "auto" line, it just modprobe all the
modules.

although i remembered to comment the 'auto' line out which keeps kerneld
from running (because i'm running kmod), i should have just killed the
/etc/rcS.d/S20modutils symlink so modprobe wouldn't forcibly load stuff
i didn't necessarily want to load.
