The new module-init-tools 3.8 package changes the location of the
configuration file: /etc/modprobe.conf is no longer read, instead
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf is used. Files without a .conf suffix in
/etc/modprobe.d are ignored now.
Please adjust your local configuration files after the update.
--------------------
I'd like to move module-init-tools, filesystem, udev, mkinitcpio and
klibc* and v86d ASAP.
