When running a 2.6 kernel with module-init-tools-3.0,
using modprobe.conf doesn't seem to use the old
syntax of
"post install awe_wave sfxload blah/blah.sf2".
For this configuration, no old oss modules exist as in
awe_wave, only alsa modules with oss emulation modules.

Using generate-modprobe.conf generated a line with
--first-time and --ignore-install while using awe_wave
(which doesn't exist), and it did not work.

I don't understand the syntax of --ignore-install and --first-time
and either the man page is to vague describing it or I'm too
dense to understand it. I just need the correct syntax to load
the soundfont.
From some other post, I've seen this, but have not tried it:

post-install snd-seq-oss /usr/bin/sfxload -i /pathto/soundfont.sf2

Is this the proper way now, that snd-seq-oss (or snd-seq) replaces
awe_wave in the post-install line? Does post-install even work
with the new module tools?
