- Subject: modprobe: could not load modules.dep during boot
- From: Felix Koop <fdp@fkoop.de>
- Date: Fri, 25 Dec 2009 23:38:05 +0100
- Message-id: <20091225223805.7802.13073.reportbug@localhost.localdomain>
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: important
My systems stops booting most of the times with an error message of:
modprobe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-686/modules.dep: No such file or directory
right after the line that says "Loading, please wait..." and before Init.
The boot process continues, but later when starting dbus the systems hangs.
About once every 10 times I don't get that message and then the systems boots
successfully. I already realized that there is no modules.dep file in the initrd
file, but even creating one does not solve the problem and neither does a copy
of the current modules.dep file out of the running system.
How can I help debug my situation? Or does someone have a workaround or fix?
Thanks, Felix
