Modules.conf gets built from aliases and anything else in /etc/modutils, which is not what I was saying. When I dist-upgraded to frozen, I had to shuffle out the ALSA stuff from /etc/modutils/aliases and shove it back in again after the upgrade, as the new aliases was considerably different to the old one. More recently, I actually read the update-modules manpage, and I see I can have the alsa stuff in its own file, safe from whatever is done to aliases. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang ICQ number 43634701
