I do not know exact answer but the modules seems to be loaded by trhe hotplug. Did you look into /etc/hotplug/* especially /etc/hotplug/blacklist and files etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/* . Maybe listing stv* modules in these blacklist may prevent them loading. I see new modules, hotplug and udeb will be point of confusion for a moment for me. I just had bad kernel crash after trying to update to 2.6.9 series while updating some 2.6.8. New Debian CD is not as simple to use as a rescue disk since it uses a lot modules. ....
