Boot Errors modules.dep
Hey all,
My VPS system is now booting up perfectly apart from the following errors:
"Checking for new hardwaremodprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or directory

modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or directory

modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or directory

mmap /dev/mem: Resource temporarily unavailable
mmap /dev/mem: Resource temporarily unavailable
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or directory

[ OK ]
Starting pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA services: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or directory
[FAILED]"

The file modules.dep does exist on the host machine (dom0) and does
contain content which looks correct.

On the machine that is starting up the file exists but in a different
location to the one specified. It is in /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4
rather than /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1387_FC4xen0 so I'm guessing this could
be the problem but how do I specify the VPS to look at a different
location for it's modules file?

Thanks in advance for any help it is much appreciated.

Cheers
Jona

As root, try running 'depmod -a'. The modules.dep file should be in the
same directory as the version of your running kernel. For example, this
command should output the correct path of the modules.dep file you are
concerned with. The output on my laptop follows:

lee@inspiron1150:~$ ls -d /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.6.12.2/modules.dep
