 Yes.

 /etc/modules.d/ is a kernel 2.4 thing. kernel 2.6 uses /etc/modprobe.d/ and
 the modprobe utilities will automatically search it for config files, which
 makes /etc/modprobe.conf and modules-update obsolete.

 Someone has obviously taken the brave step and put a stake in the sane with
 a signpost saying 2.4 is not supported.

Thank you all, job's done.

 I seem to have the same problem like this bug report:

 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281434

 which I am not sure why it has been marked as resolved/invalid.

 This is what happens:
 
  Emerging (1 of 1) media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.20-r4

 Have you had such a problem?  What's the fix?

 I have both files mentioned:

Obviously, the existence of /etc/modules.d/alsa does not allow emerge to
continue. I think you must merge alsa file to alsa.conf and then delete
alsa.

On one system I just had I had to copy the contents of /etc/modules.d/ 
alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf, while on another system to remove / 
etc/modules.d/alsa (it's contents were already in /etc/modprobe.d/ 
alsa.conf).


Hint, keep a backup of /etc/modules.d/alsa until after you have  
verified the upgrade is working.

Yes. As I can see, these files are identical in sytax. Just add information
from alsa to alsa.conf if any and them rm alsa.
