Hi,
Yes there is a module.dep in that directory because I had to
compile the kernel myself to get it to work and sent in an email
explaining exactly what I did and since I had to do an make modules and
make modules_install I have that file but I still get the error it
can't find modules 2.0.36 preferred even though this is what I have
ls -l /lib/modules please note the 2.2.3 is the one I compiled
