No!

This is not correct. My script / my solution loads modules by need not
every start up with the system boot. The way to load all modules in
modules.autoload i don't like. My system have a minimum kernel and all
other things in modules. This is why there are modules. If you load them
every start you could build a kernel without any modules!
