Bug Description

When I turn on my computer I can read this on my screen

"modprobe: Fatal: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory"

After 4-5 seconds, plymouth starts and the system works fine.

salve, ho lo stesso problema, mi chiede la psw del portachiavi e poi rimane con lo schermo nero..ed è impossibile lavorare...! grazie

hi, I have the same problem, I asked the psw keychain and then left with a black screen .. and it is impossible to work ...! thanks

I think it's a simple mix-up because /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/ exists, but /lib/modules/2.6.35-22/ doesn't exist.

I have the same problem and it is not a mix up as my message reads "modprobe: Fatal: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory". Note the message includes "generic" which is not included in the original bug report (I suspect due to an oversight versus the message being different.)

This happened after the update from lucid to maverick.
Everything seems to work except a very slow boot up and the panel disappears sometimes while loading a program with applications or system... No idea if it is related to this bug.

I did not have this problem the first time I installed Maverick on my thinkpad t-60. Last week I decided to upgrade the hard drive from a 5400 rpm seagate to a 7200 rpm hitachi and do a new install of maverick. After the new install I got the modprobe error on boot. My boot time went from 60 seconds with the seagate to 75 seconds with the hitachi.
 I installed the patched linux headers and image suggested by Andy Whitcroft and I no longer get the error on boot. Boot time is now 30 seconds. Thank you Andy!

Going back to latest stable kernel from 10.4 resolves all, recommended workarounds with initramfs and rebuilding modules.dep did not help. Haven't tried the backported kernel yet (have an AMD Turion64, was running 32-bit, didn't want to grab the wrong version).

Andy's patched kernel worked like a charm on my EEE PC 1001px, on which I
originally noticed the boot-time error message. On the netbook 10.10 was
installed in its own partition, separate from the bootable partition of the
system (which has 10.04 on it).

Thanks Andy, terrific work. I was also one of the early greasy-well
complainers about this bug, arguing that it's much more than merely
cosmetic. I still think that's true!

Boot time isn't noticeably faster, but the FATAL error is gone. Maverick has always been much slower to boot than Lucid on this machine.

Once i figured out to install headers-all before headers, it went smoothly - thanks so much for the patch!

I have been resisting putting the patch on as I share
this machine with others and I didn't want to upset anything or screw up in
the order. I suppose I could just boot from one of the other kernels if
something went wrong.

Perhaps someone who has been successful, apparently all of you might post an
extra procedure for those that are used to just going through the normal
update options.
Will this patch be released as an update?

I have a 64-bit machine. It looks like I need to install:
linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic_2.6.35-25.43lp642421v201101091714_amd64.deb

linux-headers-2.6.35-25_2.6.35-25.43lp642421v201101091714_all.deb

linux-headers-2.6.35-25-generic_2.6.35-25.43lp642421v201101091714_amd64.deb

Then do I reboot and come up on this and then apply the patch or apply the
patch straight away while running the older kernel?

0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-ensure-root-is-ready-before-running-use.patch

Do I just type as root: patch
0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-ensure-root-is-ready-before-running-use.patch

Does it matter what directory the above patch file is in when I run the
patch command?

I didn't use the patch command at all. I just installed the two header

@Andy:

First, sorry for late answer.
Patch worked on AMD Turion64 X2 TL-50, Maverick upgraded from Lucid on
Compaq Presario V6131EU.
Didn't slow boot time.

Thanks a lot!

I finally got up the nerve to add the kernel to my Intel based 64-bit system.
The error message is indeed gone. I got out a stop watch and the boot time
for me is 25-seconds prior and after the patch so no increase in speed booting
but I don't have to look at the error message any longer which is nice.
25-seconds booting is pretty phenomenal in my view.

Thanks Andy and sorry for the delay.

If you managed to switch to MODULES=dep and the the messages were gone
but you still could not boot then that indicates you have a separate
issue and this kernel is not going to fix your issues. I would strongly
recommend you start your own bug with additional symtoms (Fatal message
etc) prominantly reported.

Yeah it auto updates grub, and it was the new default.
Plus, after the reboot, when ubuntu wanted to update packages, the
kernel version was the new one.

I just wanted to point out that whatever fixed this bug could possibly be causing a random freeze-up I've been having during boot ever since I updated from 2.6.35-25. I've reported this issue as bug #771418, but I'm posting here as it may be related.
