rc.modules-2.6.7 is identical to rc.modules according to diff on my 2.6.7 
machine. Looks like either an oversight on PV's part or he just didn't 
make a new modules file with the updated 2.6.x series module names and if 
statements in the 2.6 kernel modules package. Normally I would email him 
about it, but given his health issues currently, it would probably get 
lost in the volume of well wishes and health suggestions that I imagine is 
currently clogging his inbox. The only thing you'll have to watch out for 
is that there may be modules listed in rc.modules that have been renamed 
in the 2.6.x series. This would not apply to any of the parallel port 
modules though and, if you haven't come across it yet, then probably not 
to your current hardware either.
