This sounds familiar - others have reported the same message for 
different modules.  I belive that the new kernel is more picky about the 
formatting of modprobe.conf.  Specifically it barfs if there are extra 
spaces at the end of any of the lines.  Try deleting any trailing spaces 
on lines in modprobe.conf and trying again.
