This is the udev "chicken-and-egg" problem: with static or devfs /dev, the
module would be automatically loaded upon the first access to the block 
device
node.  However, with udev, the device node is not created until the 
device is
activated in the kernel (exactly the reverse).  The way that we work 
around this
in Warty is to add the necessary modules
to /etc/modules during the installation, but for upgrades, we can't do this.
