I've recently built linux kernels 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 using make-kpkg, and in both instances, although everything works fine, I am greeted with a stream of error messages at boot time stating that the modules.dep file is not found. When building 2.6.16, towards the end of the make-kpkg command I noticed the following message: depmod -q -FSystem.map -b /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.16/debian/linux-image-2.6.16 2.6.16; /bin/sh: depmod: command not found [...]
1) Re-install depmod. Perhaps your depmod binary got corrupted or deleted.2) Make sure you're booting with the kernel you think you're booting with. Perhaps you're booting with 2.6.16.1 rather than 2.6.16.
