This is tracked in bug #274942. My machine has in that file for ac97 compatible modem from ICH3-M: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/slmodem blacklist slusb blacklist slamr # blacklist snd-intel8x0m # slmodem 2.9.x kernel modules configuration file alias char-major-242 slamr alias char-major-243 slusb $
Thanks for report. This was fixed some time ago: *slmodem-2.9.11_pre20090222-r1 (20 Jun 2009) 20 Jun 2009; Alin Năstac ... -slmodem-2.9.11_pre20090222.ebuild, +slmodem-2.9.11_pre20090222-r1.ebuild: Add .conf suffix to the installed modprobe.d file (#212257).

Hmm, you are right.

I guess old file is common problem for all packages, so we better discuss the in tracker first to find out best solution.
Martin, btw, could you try patch https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274942#c10 and report if it works for you in that bug? Thanks.
I did re-emerge sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.11.1 and confirm the patches work (the old file got renamed to ._cfg0000_slmodem.conf and is now recognized by etc-update). The only annoyance is that practically you drop ("-" lines) my old settings and present me the defaults at first ("+" lines): Showing differences between /etc/modprobe.d/slmodem.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/._cfg0000_slmodem.conf --- /etc/modprobe.d/slmodem.conf 2008-05-26 12:22:58.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/modprobe.d/._cfg0000_slmodem.conf 2010-02-18 22:07:41.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,6 +1,3 @@ -blacklist slusb -blacklist slamr -# blacklist snd-intel8x0m # slmodem 2.9.x kernel modules configuration file alias char-major-242 slamr Could you add -R to the patch command? ;-) No, that would not work. What I mean is that the default filename would be exchanged with the ._cfg*, hmm, that is ugly, so probably leave this as it is. Just wanted to let you know.
