[SOLVED] initrd doesn't load any modules

I am trying to install Arch on a SD card, finally found out it is an internal media card, thus requires the mmc_core & mmc_bulk modules.

Grub finds the SD card and I have no problems starting kernel with option
root=UUID=4518fe34-[...]

initrd halts saying

FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/3.1.9-2-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory

A little strange is that when I browse into /lib/modules/ (on ramfs) I find a 3.0-ARCH folder... isn't this a version mismatch?!

Even stranger is that modprobe -l gives the same error and lsmod is emtpy as well as cat /proc/modules

Why isn't initrd loading any modules at all??

mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES="mmc_core mmc_block sd_mod sdhci"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usbinput"

Seems like you managed to update the initramfs without updating the kernel (they must always match). You'll need to chroot and regenerate your initramfs. Make sure all your partitions are mounted.
