I note that with "new modules" modules no longer seem to load as needed 
but must be loaded by hand or explicitly in modprobe.conf.

I have just been bitten by this trying to build a kernel (loop needed to 
be loaded by hand) and using a VFAT format ZIP drive partition, where 
mount didn't load the vfat module.

Is there some trick to making modules useful again?

  Having the feature freeze for Linux 2.5 on Hallow'een is appropriate,
since using 2.5 kernels includes a lot of things jumping out of dark
corners to scare you.
