Yes. /etc/modules.d/ is a kernel 2.4 thing. kernel 2.6 uses /etc/modprobe.d/ and the modprobe utilities will automatically search it for config files, which makes /etc/modprobe.conf and modules-update obsolete. Someone has obviously taken the brave step and put a stake in the sane with a signpost saying "2.4 is not supported". -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
