kernel2.2.19 cannot find modules.dep
I recently ran the prescribed upgrade (i am running suse 7.0 with SMP), and although the machine ( a webserver) rebooted, it did not load the ethernet drivers (eepro100), complaining of being unable to find modules.dep. I fixed this by running depmod -a, but should I have needed to do this, or did i do stg wrong to cause this problem. I'm keen to avoid this happening again, as i'm about to move it to a colocation facility 2 hours drive away ;) ! If this needs to be done again, should i run depmod-a before reboot, just to be sure? Any ideas? thanks, Iain Gray

depmod should run automagically on boot. I'm puzzled why this did not work for you.
