I did it as you said, except I also copied the newer modprobe.conf to modprobe.conf.was and then after it didn't work I compared the two. No difference. There is, however, considerable difference between the lsmods from the two installations. In fact, there is so much difference I am amazed. just a short sample of the two lsmods.
