modprobe: Fatal: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.38/modules.dep

Hi,

I'm currently developing a kernel module and chose Arch as my development environment. All worked fine, but after compiling my own kernel, I always get the message in the topic during bootup (The message is actually getting repeated quite often, but it vanishes once init gets called - that's my assumption, but I'm pretty sure with it).

I know that there are already different topics with the same problem, I found them via Google, but all of them do have one difference:
In my case the modules.dep does exist, namely at the very location specified above. Furthermore, I haven't noticed any difference in my Linux's behaviour, e.g. despite showing the "fatal" error message the machine continues to boot and succeeds in doing so.

Nevertheless I'd obviously like to get rid of this problem, so does anyone have any idea what to do?

No one any ideas?

$ su -
# depmod -a 2.6.38

Didn't work
I also tried calling depmod with a mkinitcpio afterwards, that didn't help either.

You can load modules successfully?

You mean manually? Jep. Just tried to insert a module out of my modules.dep using modprobe, it worked just fine.

Arch Linux
