Why do you think you _need_ a modprobe.conf ? The LFS book recommends building without modules, but I build with a _lot_ of modules for various things. So far, the _only_ items in modprobe.conf on any of my boxes are for the network adaptor, e.g. alias eth0 natsemi My impression is that module-init-tools usually knows enough to get things into the right order without any of the old magic we used to have to give to modutils. Looking at the modprobe.conf on a host system (debian, I think) recently was quite a shock - so much unnecesary cruft in it.
