Using Boot Logs and System Information to Research Startup: p. 366 Boot logs can be used to generate a list of drivers that were loaded during a normal startup and during a Safe Mode startup.

Save the boot log just created to a different name or location so it will not be overwritten on the next boot. Reboot the system in Safe Mode, which also creates a boot log. Compare the two logs, identifying differences in drivers loaded during the two boots. You can print both files and lay them side by side for comparison.
