OK. This is my understanding of the situation. The file /etc/modules.conf
is generated (in part?) from the contents of the /etc/modutils/ directory.
Any personal module additions should be put into /etc/modutils/aliases NOT
/etc/modules.conf. The file /etc/modules.conf is then correctly generated
when you (or the system) runs 'update-modules'.
If you add things directly to /etc/modules.conf you may get the error
message you are seeing. This has happened to me before.
Maybe this is not what is causing your problem - if not, try compiling and
installing a new kernel and things should sync OK.
