Oh, and here's an actually Slackware-specific tip: if you don't want to
disable your /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug stuff, but are bothered by all of the
"FATAL: module XXX already in kernel" messages you get at boot time when
hotplug tries to load something that kmod has already loaded for you, add
these lines to the top of /etc/rc.d/rc.M:

# Quiet modprobe
MODPROBE_OPTIONS="--quiet $MODPROBE_OPTIONS"
export MODPROBE_OPTIONS

The correct solution would be to reconfigure hotplug to do the right
thing, but that would prevent it working with 2.4.x, and since I switch
back and forth I'd rather just not see all those messages when I boot.
