Yep.  The fact rc.sysinit used insmod instead made me wonder if some
dependency for modprobe wasn't handled so early in the boot.  And I'd
always rather chance rc.local than rc.sysinit, given that it might cause
havoc with an update later.  But messy, as I think we all agree.

I didn't get round to filing a bugzilla - I might do - or hopefully
someone else will before me now :)
