Comment 30 for bug 377875

Adding to /etc/modules neither worked for me, however instead of /etc/initramfs-tools/modules I added a file in /etc/modprobe.d/, which is what the kernel team suggested, and it worked properly. This procedure is documented at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting and will be the way we support, until it gets set to default in the kernel.

So... I think this bug can be closed. The configuration approach is non-standard and not one we plan to be supporting, and the user's system is functioning correctly in any case. If there is additional work that needs done to smooth out alternate options (such as getting the right order of modules loaded), that probably would be best to be done as separate bug reports against the kernel or other relevant components.
