modprobe: FATAL! couldn't load /lib/modules/2.6.35.24-generic/modules.dep

[Hans-schneidhofer]

hi, first at all my dates:
AMD X2, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, u'studio-Version 10.10, kernel 2.6.35.24-generic,
updated : ago 1 week from 10.04;

the above messages appears at startup the system !

then was trying to load modules.dep by hand, and detected the following behavior :
cd /lib is okay, next : cd modules - first problems but not at every trial - sometimes it is working at the first time, the next time it may be, I can try it 2 or 10 times with NO success
the same with step 3 - cd 2.6.35.24-generic. after arriving the directory and do a "modprobe modules.dep" i see the message " no file or directory !

I was trying with all the possibilities of variation.

BUT a vi /lib/modules/2.6.35.24-generic/modules.dep is working !!!! why this ? Why sometimes is a success sometimes NOT !?
A virus-detection was negativ, and I don't have this PC on the Internet. Have reinstalled the complete system now 4 times and I got the same problem even now.

thanks for helping me out of here :-)
MfG hans
