I've been having a bit of problem with those files. I got my soundcard to work my using modules.conf and deleting conf.modules; however, after I shut down and start up, conf.modules gets replaced, and I have to delete it again. There is a message during startup about Linux removing conf.modules, but the command doesn't seem to go through. Anyone have any ideas on how I can prevent conf.modules from reappearing?
