If you add them to /etc/modules (each module name on a line) it should
load them up at boot time.  I've seen the same thing with the nvidia
module and that's what I did to fix it.  You might search mandrake's
bugzilla at http://qa.mandrakesoft.net/ (iirc), though.  And post here
if you find a better solution, please.

Cheers,
Tanner
