Your suggestion does not work. I changed /etc/modprobe.conf as follows:

[root at slowpoke log]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 8139too
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
install snd-sbawe

rc.local is the default; i.e. 

[root at slowpoke log]# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

Upon boot I got the multiple errors for modprobe.conf; i.e. 

May  4 23:09:00 slowpoke modprobe: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.conf line 3: ignoring
bad line starting with 'install' 


Is "install" a new command for FC7? It does not work for FC6. Placing the
modprobe command into /etc/rc.local definitely works.
