Compiling these modules, which are loaded on nearly every PC, in the kernel cuts down my boot time from 42s to 32s on my computer:

I was going to suggest you might want to leave that one out, since I wouldn't think its that common anymore... then I checked, and this is loaded on my machine which has no floppy.
I suppose that makes sense and didn't think about it. Moving detection code out of all modules into the main kernel would probably be alot of messy to deal with for embedded system builds.
# echo "blacklist floppy" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
or even
# echo "install floppy /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
Thanks I knew this, just hadn't noticed floppy was getting loaded (not that its hurting me). A couple years ago I used to rebuild all the kernel rpms with my own moduleless config but haven't felt the need in a long time.
