Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.23
After Install Operating System Kernel and Drivers completed, an error
message informed me that the drivers installation had failed. Looking in the
error log, I noted the error
depmod: No modules were found in /target/lib/modules/2.2.19 that could be
configured.
I went to Execute a Shell and navigated to /target/lib/modules and asked for
a ls, with the results
2.2.18pre21
Apparently a directory was created but with the incorrect revision number to
match the installation package.

It happens :) Don't worry about it unless you need one of the modules
with an error.

Nope, it really didn't do anything. That'll get fixed some day...
