Most likely you just have a .pacsav file in /etc/modprobe.d/ This is annoying, I thought it would simply ignore those files. Now it seems that it reads them, but prints that warning. Do you think we should patch it to at least ignore .pacsave files until they remove this warning and backward-compatibility? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I've noticed an issue regarding mkinitcpio and the new modprobe changes that requires a symlink from /etc/modprobe.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf in order for options for any modules you load in the initramfs to be applied, just incase this hasn't been reported yet.

[arch-general] modprobe changes
I am getting a message on boot that I need to change the modules line in rc.conf to the new way which is to put the conf file into modprobe.d. Is there any info on this? I have some modules I want to blacklist and some to load. Is the format the same as modprobe.conf? ( I presume ) I take it I can just add a file like this net-pf-10.conf that contains blacklist net-pf-10 Is that right ?
