How you specify which modules to load on boot will vary between
distributions. From the kernel name I guess you're using Fedora Core
2 and I don't know much about that.

Reading the modules.conf manpage you can set up a special directory
that should contain all modules you want loaded on boot and add:

path[boot]=/path/to/directory

to your modules.conf file, but I don't know how it would get picked
up if modprobe is never called during boot..
