And where does this 'lpfc' file come from? Don't expect us to guess from the 10000 ebuilds around there.

# emerge portage-utils
# qfile lpfc

sorry for the insufficient information I delivered... but I didn't know what kind of Information you need...
 
> # emerge portage-utils

# qfile lpfc
sys-kernel/xen-sources (/usr/src/linux-2.6.29-xen-r4/drivers/scsi/lpfc)
sys-kernel/xen-sources (/usr/src/linux-2.6.30-xen-r2/drivers/scsi/lpfc)

so it looks like the file this bug is about (/etc/modules.d/lpfc) doesn't belong to any package. I suppose the guy who set up this machine created it by hand. But as he isn't working here anymor I can't ask him...

So this bug report is obsolete?
Sorry for the inconvenience! I just followed the instructions that appeared :-)

No problem, thanks for letting us know.  It should just be possible to move the file from the one directory to the other, I don't believe the file format's changed between module-init-tools where the modprobe name change was made...
