I'm wondering why my modules.conf that I had to edit keeps reverting 
back to the previous version every time I reboot; it is really kind of 
frustrating. It means that every time I reboot I have to mess around and 
reload the ide-scsi module as well as having to load the module for my 
soundcard (if I forget to do the latter all manner of nastiness happens 
when KDE starts up). It also sends up a flurry of warnings that my 
"modules.conf is newer than modules.dep" [I'm thinking - so what if it is?].
