RE: [gentoo-hardened] Could not load modules.dep

[Darren Smith]

We were getting similar messages on a recently built machine including a
"FATAL:  Could not load System.Map:  Missing....." right after a message
about loading modules.dep.  Didn't seem to affect proper function at all,
but any error is bothersome to me, so...

This was fully resolved by the following set of commands:

# env-update && source /etc/profile 
# modules-update 
# reboot

Not sure if this issue is entirely similar... seems related though.
