Disabling kernel modules is going to do absolutely nothing for you.
Your kernel boots in a matter of seconds. The real time waster is that
piece of hardware you call a hard disk drive. All of the services
started up cause some heavy disk I/O that no rotating drive can handle
very well.
The solution? Buy an SSD.
Sincerely,
A Fedora user who boots in less than 8 seconds.
