The examples at the top of /etc/conf.d/modules only show the correct syntax for 2.6 series kernels. They should be updated to include examples of how to include modules from 3.x series kernels. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open modules file Actual Results: The examples show various ways to configure modules to load when the kernel version is 2.6.x, but not the correct syntax for 3.x kernels. Expected Results: There should be an example or two of how to configure modules to load when the kernel version is 3.x.

AFAIK, that's fixed in baselayout 2.1.
It doesn't belong to baselayout anymore. I don't think its necessary to add something for 3.x as its exactly the same, just with a 3 instead. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 387445 ***
