Are the above messages errors, or are they just informational warnings?

The messages themselves indicate that the modules could not be loaded - 
but if the modules were compiled into the kernel by Redhat, then the 
modules cannot be loaded, but this is not an error condition, because 
the modules are built into the kernel anyway.
