The modules.conf is just conf.modules renamed.
However putting in the 'alias' line isnt going to work if the AppleTalk
module was never compiled/installed in the first place.
See if there is an appletalk.o modules in the appropiate place under
/lib/modules/. It is possible that since RH don't install netatalk they
now also don't install the appletalk module.
I am running AppleTalk on RH7 boxen, but I have in each case compiled
my own 2.4 kernel for them and made sure that the AppleTalk module is
built and installed.
