Yes, by default the Udpcast boot menu includes in its suggestion _all_
drivers that match the current card, even if they are not present on the
boot media. This was intended to make it possible to have modules on a
second disk.

In today's version, I changed it so that all drivers are still listed,
but that those that are present on the media come first. So leaving away
troublesome drivers should work now
