Thanks. I see existing files in mine:
$ ls /etc/modprobe.d/
aliases.conf              blacklist-bluetooth   libpisock9.conf
alsa-base-blacklist.conf  blacklist.conf        linux-sound-base_noOSS.conf
alsa-base.conf            fbdev-blacklist.conf  oss-compat.conf

In older Kernels like v2.6.30, did this conflict happen too? I only 
remember seeing inaccurate values like for voltages. Speaking of 
voltages, which part is responsibile for voltages showing that I don't 
have in 2.6.32, but did in 2.6.30?
