  it will probably go away. I had the same problem several times (and
seen the same discussion with no solution) on this list. It looks like
there's nothing you can do about it, nothing helps (update-modules,
depmod -a etc.), but it goes away after few boots (after some time). I
still have no idea what's wrong, but somehow one of the files involved
is being updated during boot (or at least it gets new date, possibly by
tough or something), I forgot which one (I guess it's
/etc/modules.conf).
