Bug#562561: modprobe: could not load modules.dep during boot



* Felix Koop <fdp@fkoop.de> [Fre Dez 25, 2009 at 11:38:05 +0100]:

> My systems stops booting most of the times with an error message of:

What's inside your initramfs? Extract it running:

cd /tmp ; mkdir init ; cd init
gunzip -c /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-2-686 | \
       cpio -i -d -H newc --no-absolute-filenames

Does lib/modules/2.6.30-2-686/modules.dep exist then?
Are you sure you're booting into the right root filesystem?
What's inside your /proc/cmdline?
