My bad in writing the original post. It's already named blacklist.conf

keeper ~ # ls /etc/modprobe.d/
aliases.conf  alsa.conf  blacklist.conf  i386.conf  nvidia.conf
pnp-aliases.conf
keeper ~ #


and the firewire stuff is in the blacklist.conf file:

keeper ~ # cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | grep firewire
blacklist firewire-ochi
blacklist firewire-core
keeper ~ #


I don't have a modprobe.conf file:

keeper ~ # ls -al /etc/modprobe.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/modprobe.conf: No such file or directory
keeper ~ #

and the modules continue to be loaded:

keeper ~ # lsmod | grep firewire
firewire_ohci          20022  0
firewire_core          36109  1 firewire_ohci
keeper ~ #

This is a new machine built with a March Gentoo install image so
hopefully it's all basically correct from the outset but the modules
are still getting loaded.

Thanks!
