apparently no. this question keeps popping up, never answered. I had
the same problem and I wasn't even able to figure out what changes the
date on /etc/modules.conf
the problem usually goes away after some time. have no idea why it
goes away.
depmod -a does not help, even depmod -a in boot scripts does not help.
at some point during boot process the last modified data of
/etc/modules.conf changes to current date, but there's no reason for the
file to be modified... I went through start up scripts and wasn't able
to figure out why it's modified, there's no call to update-modules
there...
