modules.dep: No such file or directory

Hey,

I am having this problem where when trying to boot Arch it will have the error:
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory

After this it exits into the ramfs$ prompt. When I navigate to the /lib/modules directory there is only a directory for
2.6.30-ARCH and not the 2.6.31-ARCH.

I created the directory 2.6.31-ARCH then I tried to depmod which seemed to work but the modules.dep was empty and also does not last a reboot.

I mustve updated the kernel and something went askew. Any help would be appreciated.

I am sure I havent given enough information to resolve the problem but I dont know what people would need so let me know and ill supply that information as quickly as possible.

Thanx.

Re: modules.dep: No such file or directory

Sounds like you updated the kernel, but for some reason, the initcpio wasn't updated.

Re: modules.dep: No such file or directory

Any way to fix this as I cant access my main system which is not a good thing.

Or at least rollback to 2.6.30 in order to use the existing kernel information.

Boot the install cd, chroot in and fix it.
