where to get modprobe.conf?

[Erhard Schultchen <eschultchen@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I switched from linux 2.4 to 2.6 some months ago. AFAIK, 2.6's
module-init-tools use /etc/modprobe.d for module information such as
aliases.

The manpage ( 5 modprobe.conf) also mentions the
/lib/modules/modprobe.conf file, wich (among others) the alsa init
script depends on. However, I am not sure how to obtain and maintain
this file - is there something like update-modules available for 2.6?

My way to install the kernel is getting one from kernel.org and running
make-kpkg configure kernel_image modules_config modules_image and then
installing the .deb files.

regards,
