modules.conf had this.
alias eth0 3c59x
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
modprobe.conf had only the ethernet card (twice). One works, one doesn't. include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist alias eth0 3c59x alias eth1 3c59x

Strange. Before running generate-modprobe.conf, my modprobe.conf looked like yours. After running the generate program I have:
include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist
alias eth0 8139too
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && {
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove
sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
:; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove sound-slot-0
which is a tranlation of my modules.conf
No further info here.

When I ran generate-modprobe.conf again. I got this error generate-modprobe.conf /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf: line 32: modprobe.old: command not found Cannot find old version of modprobe. Giving up.
Anyway, I installed the development kernel. I guess there is no modprobe.old file in existence. I'm doing alright with the kernel though.
One thing surprised me. I was in runlevel 3 and my card reader was not recognized. I changed to runlevel 5 via editing inittab. When I rebooted, my card reader lights were on. I ran fdisk /dev/sda and it read the card size. I added the information into /etc/fstab for /dev/sda1 and it is now usable.
What is different enough from runlevel 3 to runlevel 5 to allow the card reader to function? My /etc/modprobe.conf file does not list anything different than what was posted before.
Thanks for your help. I might add the usb related info to the file anyway. The sound module I might try to copy from my modules.conf.
