There's no reason for modprobe.preload. /etc/modprobe is enough to use.
Second, i don't know any distribution, which use this. Please refer it, 
because this patch should only work on this distri.

I think, you use a distri, which i didn't know, i wrote this scripts. So 
there're many things, which couldn't work.
By the way: reboot and halt are replaced by initng, it should work, too, but 
only on provided distribution. You can replace halt and reboot by a small 
script, like that:

/sbin/halt:
#!/bin/sh
case $(basename "$0") in
halt)  exec ngc -0 ;;
reboot) exec ngc -6 ;;
*) echo "Oooops? halt or reboot? Use me only as halt or reboot." >&2 ;;
esac

Create a link for reboot: # ln -s halt /sbin/reboot
All right? ;)
