Stop modules from loading at startup

[kyutums]

Is it possible to stop modules from loading at startup without recompiling the kernel?

I get the following error messages at boot up after I recompiled the kernel. But my system (a classic Pentium 133 with 16 MB RAM) still works okay, so I think it will be okay if I just stopped them from loading.

sometimes on a new compile I've had to do a make modules && make modules_install

Along with the make dep and some times make clean

Also if with doing everything I thought I should do it still did the same thing to me but on the second reboot it didn't.

Before doing a compile especially a second I do a make mrproper before a make xconfig It resets some things.

Did you do a depmod -a ? You also need to do that after make modules_install.

Ooops... nope, I didn't do a depmod -a. What's the command for?

The man page for depmod does a good job of explaining the purpose and usage of both depmod and modprobe.

man depmod
