I'm answering because you don't seem to have gotten any other (public)
answers, not because I'm sure of my facts.

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,
