what loads the bootup modules?
 

Slackware 10 I tried to rid the system of the module
snd-ice1726 using modprobe -v -r snd-ice1726.
It seemed to work and when I took a look at the
loaded modules with lsmod | more, it was gone.
Great! I finally got something done. But no! The
next time I booted Slackware 10, it was back!
Something must be loading modules at bootup time, Y/N?
Where and what is loading this nasty module? It's
getting in the way of my real sound module and I've
no sound. How do I stop this thing from loading?
I've looked at /etc/profile.d and /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
but neither have anything to do with loading snd-ice1726.
Anyone got any ideas?

Without wanting to state the obvious... you've checked /etc/modules ?

Cheers,
