I changed /etc/rc.modules
from

     if [ -n "$TOLOAD" ]; then
       logger -t $0 "Loading modules:"$TOLOAD
       /sbin/modprobe -a $TOLOAD 2>/dev/null
     fi
to

     /bin/true # set success if module does not need loading

     if [ -n "$TOLOAD" ]; then
       logger -t $0 "Loading modules:"$TOLOAD
     #  /sbin/modprobe -a $TOLOAD 2>/dev/null
       /sbin/modprobe -a $TOLOAD >/root/modprobe.tmp 2>&1
       if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
         _status=$?
         cat /root/modprobe.tmp >> /root/modprobe.log
         echo $TOLOAD status=$_rtn >> /root/modprobe.log
         /bin/rm /root/modprobe.tmp
         exit $_status
       fi
     fi
