Did you by any chance recompiled kernel on that system? modules.dep is the file where dependencies are looked up for modules.I have installed RedHat on a Compaq EVO 500 Desktop. The network card is Intel Pro/100 (eepro ) When I start the network service there is no error on the screen. But teh ifconfig command does show any entry for eth0. The /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/ directory does have an entry for eth0 (ifcfg-eth0) When I do lsmod there are not network modules loaded.So I tried "modprobe eth0 " The error was as follows : modprobe : cannot open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/modules.dep ( No such file or directory) There is no 2.4.18-14 directory inside the nodules directory , but there is a 2.4.14-3 directory inside teh modules directory which has the modules.conf file with an entry for eeproo netwok card. What is the exact problem ? How can I solve it ? Please Help.
Try ' insmod eepro100 '. Then 'ifup eth0'. See if you can assign ip address with ifconfig with 'up' switch.
"ifconfig eth0 <options|address> up" [do a man on ifconfig for more details].
Run "uname -r", say your output is x.x.x Then you should see a folder called /lib/modules/x.x.x/. In that modules.dep should be present.
Locate modules.dep and copy it in appropriate place.
