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.
