What's exactly the problem you've fixed?

In modules.lrp we only provide a basic set of modules (and "basic" from our 
subjective point of view :)) - every others are in the kernel tree as you 
have seen.

The way you've "fixed" it, works and I often used that method.

But there are still other and more advanced methods to reach the same goal:
- You can read /etc/modules and follow the instructions how to mount the CD, 
load modules, and umount the image during startup.
- Or you generate your modules.lrp online:
