Red face Could not load modules.dep :(((((


Hi!.. At first I ask: sorry for my English, it's rather bad.

When I boot I get 5-10 messages:

like this:

modprobe: FATAL Coult not load /lib/modules/2.6.25.10/modules.deb: no such file or directory


After this everything boots normally and works fine. But this errors make me engry ]:-> ))

I googled for it... There was a lot of results, but they didn't help me...

That's how I've built my kernel:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.10
make menuconfig
.....
make bzImage modules modules_install install
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25.10 2.6.25.10

After this I've edited my menu.lst

Please help...

P.S. file /lib/modules/2.6.25.10/modules.dep exists!

have you tried

depmod -a

Then try your modprobe, let us know the outcome.

Did you check with a similar system if your file looks good ?
Try to take a look on the depmod manual
"depmod - Creates a dependency file, "modules.dep", later used by modprobe to automatically load the relevant modules."
And yes! It seems to be important...

I have just tried

# mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25.10 2.6.25.10
# depmod -a

Then rebooted.
But it doesn't help...
