[gentoo-user] Modules dependencies problem!

[El TuZa]

Hi guys, I'm having a problem during initialization. It happens that
50% of the time that I boot my desktop, when "Calculating module
dependencies" says "Failed to load modules dependencies" (with the
corresponding red exclamation marks) and when it gets to the loggin
message it never loads kdm, and once I log via console I can't load
kdm either.
That's very annoying because the only way I can find now is to reboot
and see if now it loads modules dependencies (usually the second time
works fine).
Did anybody have that kind of problem? What could I do?
Thanks,
Tuza

Oh, just in case...I'm running Gentoo 2005.1 for AMD64

Without more info I can't be much help. But here's a pointer, just in case :
The modules init script launches modules-update, which can be launched at the 
command line. The error you have is consistent (and, looking at the code of 
the scrip can only be caused by) modules-update failing.

You should try to launch it yourself at the command-line. You should get some 
output that could be useful.

modules-update has a man page. You should look at that too.

The main cause for this behaviour would be :
- modules-update thinks your modules.conf is not auto generated and refuses to 
overwrite it.
- there is a mistake in one of the files in /etc/modules.d/ . I have seen this 
caused by etc-update, which can sometimes munch files.

Hope this helps,
