IMO its one of those `doctor it hurts when i do this!' well don't do that then. if on the other hand the kids have filled your keyboard with peanut butter well get a new keyboard before installing debian ;-) > The symlink was generated, I verified it was there. modules.dep was > definitely not there. probably because you have such serious filesystem corruption that depmod puked. > Wouldn't filesystem corruption be solved by re-initializing the disk?
