PS -- if you got the old version of the modules.dep, chances are you are still using the old kernel. Did you download the vanilla kernel sources? SuSE installs the kernel in /boot/ (this is how lilo.conf is set up). vanilla kernel sources build the kernel to be places in / by default. Is you new kernel sitting in /? If the answer to the last question is yes, you must rebuild your kernel after changing the line in the kernel top-level makefile which reads: # # INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map # images. Uncomment if you want to place them anywhere other than root. INSTALL_PATH=/boot INSTALL_PATH is commented out in vanilla kernel source. Uncomment it so it will put the kernel in /boot. or your can change lilo.conf to point to your new kernel in / if it is there.

I did a `make modules modules_install' with a stock (not SuSE) 2.2.15 kernel and found that I still had an older version of that file, according to the date. I then tried deleting it and rebooting. I got a new copy of the older version.

Interesting discovery: the timestamp of the modules.dep file is the time when /etc/conf.modules was last edited, and remains that way even if modules.dep is deleted and then (implicitly on bootup initialization) recreated. No wonder I was puzzled as to where the apparently old file came from. I wonder how that timestamp gets set.
