[Bug 642421] Re: Maverick could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep

As I mentioned, I tried editing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf so that
"MODULES=most" was replaced by "MODULES=dep" and rebooted.  I still saw the
error message, however, after trying "sudo update-initramfs -u" and
rebooting, the error message was no longer present.  I rebooted a second
time just to make sure.

I also noticed that when I shut down, Ubuntu 10.10 gives me information on
what processes are being shut down (I think this is what it is: a lot of the
lines start of with "init: ").

So, it worked for me.

Anyone think they can explain why this works?  I see the two commented out
lines in initramfs.conf

"# most - Add most filesystem and all harddrive drivers.
#
# dep - Try and guess which modules to load."

How does it "guess" which modules to load and why would this get rid of the
error?
