What happens if you comment that out in .emacs, and
instead evaluate them manually - do you get any
error messages?

I just tried my way of doing it, which resembles
yours, and it works alright save for I don't have any
"balance-mode" in my system.

If you evaluate this -

(let ((modes '(
     ("\\.bal"                                               . balance-mode)
     ("\\.gpi"                                               . gnuplot-mode)
     ("\\.\\(glsl\\|oil\\|ssc\\|dfy\\)"                      . c-mode)
     ("\\.lua"                                               . lua-mode)
     ("\\.\\(service\\|list\\|theme\\|mailrc\\|sed\\|inc\\)" . conf-mode)
     ("\\.pic"                                               . nroff-mode)
     ("\\.xr"                                                . 
conf-xdefaults-mode)
     ("inputrc"                                              . conf-colon-mode)
     ("KILL"                                                 . emacs-lisp-mode)
     ("\\.service"                                           . emacs)
     )))
  (setq auto-mode-alist (append modes auto-mode-alist)) )

- and then opens .balance.bal - what happens?
