Awsome.  Thank you!

I took a look over in my CentOS 5.6 server and found
/etc/sysconfig/modules/udev-stw.modules:

#!/bin/sh
MODULES="nvram floppy parport lp snd-powermac"
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/udev-stw ] && . /etc/sysconfig/udev-stw
for i in $MODULES ; do
         modprobe $i >/dev/null 2>&1
done

Which confirms your recommendation.  I will use the new name
as you suggested.

I will be able to get at the SL6 machine on Tuesday.  I am
very confident your recommendation will work.
