installation ~problem 1: modprobe messages



(Is debian-testing@lists.debian.org the right place to report
little problems like this, or should I submit a bug for
boot-floppies?)



Trying to install the current draft version of potato, using
boot-floppies version 2.2.16-2000-07-14, I encountered the 
following:

Right before the first dialog of the installation program comes
up, a large number of modprobe message flash by on the screen.
That said, approximately (hey, they flashed by too quickly to
read clearly):
   ... modprobe: can't open dependency file /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep

I also noticed this message (twice) on the fourth virtual console 
(I had booted with "linux verbose debug"):

   kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped 

Is this normal (or at least known) behavior?
