I started seeing this message during boot time, after some upgrade. These are the messages:

Fri May 15 21:27:03 2009: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/intel_rng, it will be ignored in a future release. My question is since I dont find these packages to belong to any package, what should I do about them? And what is their purpose actually? To forbid modules from loading into the kernel? Why? What happens if I delete them? G.
