It's a warning which can be safely ignored. modules.dep is remade on
boot, while modules.conf is only generated when needed. As a result it
tends to be older, which triggers this warning.

How you have me confused.. how can the script not write modules.dep
while you still get the error that modules.conf is older then that
file? Something doesn't add up here..
