Where do those "alias ..." lines go exactly? How did hotplug manage to load these modules without them having aliases, by the way? And are there any tools for finding out what modules lack this necessary info, except hands-on experimentation? What would it take to make these kind of special arrangements unnecessary? On what level would the changes have to happen? In udev, or in the kernel perhaps? In whose court is the ball on this matter?
