They are in this file. My sound did not work though until I added them 
to the /etc/modprobe.conf file. I didn't have usb either until I added 
the below to the file. (This is a development install from early January)

include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c59x
alias eth2 ne2k-pci
alias usbdevfs usbcore
alias usb-uhci uhci-hcd
alias usb-ohci ohci-hcd
alias uhci uhci-hcd
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0

The below line in the file is cryptic to me. I guess it probes the entry 
for sound-slot-0 and tries to do something with the audio mixer. I don't 
know the answer though.

install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && 
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

I took the entries out of my /etc/rc.local file and rebooted and got 
sound with these added entries. For usb, I forgot to add usbcore and 
modprobed usbcore after the system was up.


Also, reading the entries of the /etc/modprobe.conf.dist file, I got the 
impression that it was some sort of a 2.4 to 2.6 modules cross-reference 
index. If this isn't the purpose of the file and there is no 
cross-reference index for 2.4 to 2.6 kernel module name changes, there 
should be and maybe easier conversion from 2.6 configurations to 2.4 
kernel configurations could be achieved.

Just comments. I hope they are constructive.
