Some modules did change name, notably USB. I tried to put those known to me in
modprobe.compat until they are handled better by module-init-tools or drakx.
Additions and corrections are welcome.

unless you give exact versions of devfsd. modutils, module-init-tools,
contents of your modules.conf and moprobe.conf and errors you get (and exact
descritpion when you get them) it is rather guesswork.
I had the same problem initially using the built-in modprobe hack for
modules.devfs. It did not work reliably so I fixed devfsd. Make sure you are
using the latest versions of all three.
and keep in mind that initscripts still read old modules.conf so it may be the
reason.
