I thought /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules) did that, built when you did
(i'm not certain which) make modules or make modules_install?

/boot/module-info is used by Red Hat's hardware auto-configuration
utilities, such as Anaconda (the installer), Kudzu (boot-time hardware
detector), and kernelcfg. They use it to map module names to the type of
module (e.g., so that they know "3c501" is an ethernet driver), along with a
short description and the parameters it needs.
It comes from Red Hat's development team. If you are installing one of
their pre-compiled kernels, it should come with the module-info file. If you
are compiling your own, just let it use the one from the previous Red Hat
pre-compiled kernel. Most things won't have changed. Anything that has you
will have to configure manually, of course.
