It sits alongside the old 2.4 one, and doesn't cause any problem with older kernels. > module-init-tools will move the respective tools from modutils out of the way by renaming them to "*.modutils" Modules are now configured in /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/*, 'update-modules' will build /lib/modules/modprobe.conf out of these. When changing your 2.4.x config in /etc/modutils/* you now need to run 'update-modules.modutils' to build /etc/modules.conf. cheers, Christian Henz
