There is probably an "automagic partition type detection" (i.e. mount -t auto /dev/... /mnt) which will modprobe all these modules, hopefully one by one, until it finds the right filesystem for that partition. Do you have an unrecognised disk partition?
That is the usual problem with automagic things, at some point the system should assume failure, and not try to detect if I have soldered a new temperature controller semiconductor chip on my motherboard since I last powered it...
It is difficult to define the limit, and still work with the widest range of hardware - for instance, is the hard disk moved to another computer a supported scenario?
