Wait, didn't they switch to a different file?  I think the new kernel
uses /etc/modprobe.conf, and a slightly different format to boot.  IIRC
last time I lived dangerously (2.5.5x) I had to basically recreate the
whole thing because the included conversion script didn't work for me. 
Hopefully it's gotten better since then.
