I know I need file AAA but don't know what package it is in?

As described here, you can use the command-line utility targetpkg to answer this question.

targetpkg -f x86_586 > files_in_package_in_group.list

The above command gives you a text file that you can grep for a specific file name. Replace 'x86_586' with your architecture string, e.g. 'ppc_8xx' for a PowerPC 823 system.

grep modprobe files_in_package_in_group.list

indicates that the modprobe utility is found in two packages: busybox and modutils.

The above commands can be combined into a single Linux command:

targetpkg -f x86_586 | grep modprobe
