Thanks for the link, I was there and didn't know about the 
module-init-tools. With the extreme aid of mc, I downloaded and 
extracted the zipped file, ran ./configure, then make, followed by make 
install. Then I checked for the presense of modprobe.conf. It was found 
at this location.

1]# locate modprobe.conf
/etc/log.d/conf/services/modprobe.conf

I'll try to compile it now. I hope this does the trick.
