This is a known bug. Debian Bug Reports Logs: #53247 Title: modutils: modules.dep generated during boot has incorrect timestamp Age: 336 Days old as of 21 November 2000 Manifests as a message during boot that says: "insmod: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.17/ modules.dep" Suggested workaround: as root, issue "depmod -a" following boot. It was a problem in 2.2.17 and, given the age of the bug report, it appears the maintainer is not in any hurry to fix it (because it is not a catastrophic problem) or that it is something that will be difficult to fix. Hope this helps. rob
