This can happen either because some other module depends on these
modules; or because the install scipt has installed default scripts
which load up a wide variety of modules.

See the man page for module-init-tools to find how to disable unwanted
modules.

Check the output of lsmod to ensure that the modules are not required
by some other required module.
