Hmm, there seems to be a bug in modultils. |
90 |
/lib/modules/[uname-r]/modules.dep is not generated correct. |
91 |
|
92 |
Remove /etc/modules/[unname -r] and /etc/modules.conf and run |
93 |
/etc/rc.d/init.d/modules. This will generate those files again. |
94 |
|
95 |
I'm working on that bug here at the moment. |
