You can put the names of the modules to load during startup in the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file.

Quote:

## Type: string
## ServiceRestart: boot.loadmodules
#
# This variable contains the list of modules to be loaded
# once the main filesystem is active
# You will find a few default modules for hardware which
# can not be detected automatically.
#
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=""

You could also put them in the /etc/modprobe.conf.local file. Don't do both though.
