Oh! I thought you were just trying to get sound working. Yeah, as someone
else noted, modprobe.conf, and, as I just looked and found, there's more
in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist, where I see
excerpt:
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias sound-service-*-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-*-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-*-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-*-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-*-12 snd-pcm-oss

install sound-slot-* /sbin/modprobe
snd-card-${MODPROBE_MODULE##sound[_-]slot[_--
]}

install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe
snd-pcc
m-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
--- end excerpt ---
right after USB and before NFS.

I don't know if that's read before or after depmod.d/depmod.conf.dist, but
presumably it's used by udev.
