Try "man modprobe.conf" and you will see that this file is "the old" way of implementing kernel modules. The "new way" is to put the commands inside files in the /etc/modprobe.d directory.

Good luck

actually my /etc/modprobe.conf is an empty file
i tried to move it to /etc/modprobe.d
i also tired to rename it but in vain the same warning still exists

If your file is empty, then remove it. The error/warning will/should then go away.
