Configuration Problem

I have just configured sensors on a new install of 8.1. I made the appropriate additions to /etc/modules.conf and /etc/rc.status in order for the values to be shown in gkrellm (that's successful) After making these changes I get large numbers of the message: /ect/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/modules.dep which, of course, it is. My question is how do I get rid of these rather annoying messages. They don't seem to be effecting the system in any way. Thanks in advance.
