after compiling kernel: failed to load /etc/modules.autoload.d


I have just compiled a 2.6.19 kernel for Gentoo but I am having two issues:
- acpi cannot be found
- the boot screen reports that "module /etc/modules.autoload.d" cannot be loaded

As for the acpi part, I did compile it into the kernel but I probably should have done the same for one or more of the subitems, too and I think a recompile will take care of that. Or I could include those as modules but that brings me to the second problem. The system apparently fails to load /etc/modules.autoload.d. Is that something that should be compiled into the kernel as well? I compiled more than once to get everything right (this is my first manual kernel configuration, without any old config to go by) but I just did not see anything that relates to modules.autoload.d. Please suggest if you know what I am looking for.

what modules is modules.autoload.d trying to load? a lot of third party kernel modules (eg ndiswrapper, etc) must be recompiled after a kernel update
