Latest working kernel version: 2.6.27.5 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.28-rc1 Distribution: Debian Sid Hardware Environment: Athlon X2 4200+ Software Environment: X86_64 Problem Description: At boot, just after the "system loading" message, I have several times (5 to 9) the following message: modprobe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-rc4-k8-1/modules.dep: no such file or directory. After that, the system boot and work normally. I use an initrd. Steps to reproduce: boot the system
That file is created by depmod, and it's usually created when you run "make modules_install". Have you run that command, ie, have you installed the kernel modules properly?
The file *exists* and the modules as well. And everything, including modules works fine.

Maybe the modules are missing in the initrd image?
The modules are there. I've extracted the initrd and compared with the one of 2.6.27.5. They have both the same structure and contents. Both kernel have been built the same way with kernel-package from Debian. J-L
Really you would be best opening a bug here with Debian if the package was built with the Debian tools not the kernel scripts.
Well: I've rebuilt kernel and modules and installed them with the kernel scripts and built the initrd with mkinitramfs. I've the same messages. J-L
Hi, I get the same message on Kubuntu 8.04. I install the kernel via: cd /usr/src sudo make-kpkg clean sudo make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image cd .. dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.28-rc6[...].deb The modules.dep is there, also the initrd.
I've no more these messages with 2.6.29-git12 J-L
