Hi Ben!
That command gives no results:

tommaso ~# grep -r 'options libata' /etc/modprobe.conf
grep: /etc/modprobe.conf: No such file or directory
tommaso ~# grep -r 'options libata' /etc/modprobe.d/
tommaso ~#

That string is not found also in entire /etc, /lib, /usr/lib/, /usr/share.

Could it be generated by the kernel itself?
If i try to load whatever modules i can see the message:

tommaso ~# modprobe libata
options libata ignore_hpa=1
tommaso ~# modprobe foo
options libata ignore_hpa=1
FATAL: Module foo not found.
tommaso ~#

Cesare.
