Did you rebuild the initramfs image after modifying these options? Also, I don't think anything in the standard module-init-tools checks for a modprobe.conf.local - most distributions today either still use /etc/modprobe.conf for everything (it's been deprecated for some time) or have switched to using .conf files in /etc/modprobe.d.
