genkernel's /usr/share/genkernel/$arch/modules_load

I recommend unmasking the latest genkernel 3.2.0_pre version and using
that, as it will be going stable shortly.  I also recommend doing the
same with the masked version of catalyst.

I *NEED* testers for these, as I plan on them going stable before 2005.1
is released and I would love to resolve as many bugs in them as
possible.
