Quite a few people have reported problems loading modules from the loader (different modules, mind you). I'm pretty sure that I saw a clueful person suggest loading them out of /etc/rc.local for now. I can't check the archives to validate this, so you might want to think about it more than I have. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
