Several problems, not all of which are necessarily applicable:

* /etc/modprobe.conf may be generated from files in /etc/modprobe.d, and
  you'll have to edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases then run update-modules.
  (Older module-init-tools needs this, at least on Debian systems.)

* /etc/modprobe.conf may well not exist at all, and you'll have to edit
  /etc/modprobe.d/aliases. (Newer module-init-tools do this.)

* IPv6 support may be built into the kernel rather than as a module.

Also, try 'rmmod ipv6' before considering reboot. (If you see an error other
that "does not exist" or "is not loaded", you probably have an application
which is using IPv6. Dropping to runlevel 1, logging in, removing the module
then allowing the machine to return to the default runlevel should fix this.)
