Comment 503 for bug 88746

I just tried Mike's suggestion,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88746/comments/500
re ' /etc/initramfs-tools/modules' and it seems to have fixed my setup?!
(see my bug for my complete setup and test case, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313603 )

I did *not* tweak my kernel image, either, so that step seems to have been unnecessary. Is that even possible, though, or is it impossible that editing the 'modules' file alone could change the order in which OHCI and EHCI load?
