Jake:
The file /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit should write a new modules-dep for you on the
next boot up of the new kernel. If you want to run depmod anyway it should
work but I assume since it says it is not able to write to it possible the
permissions are wrong. Is the owernship of the newly created
/lib/modules/<kernel version>/modules-dep root:root and the
permissions -rw-r--r-- or chmod 644?
