I did two 2005.1 stage1 installs on a laptop in the last days. Both times update-modules every time I run it. I traced it back to generate-modprobe.conf which complained about a missing /lib/modules/2.6.11/modules.dep . Of course I had no kernels like that installed, just the stable gentoo-sources. The problem was gone after symlinking one of the existing /lib/modules/<kernels> to /lib/modules/2.6.11 . Sorry, I gave the laptop away today. I cannot provide you an emerge info, but I think that is not a problem. Ignore this if nobody else experienced the problem, I just want to let you know that there is a possible problem with update-modules in the 2005.1 gentoo-release or the stable baselayout. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform a 2005.1 x86 stage1 installation 2. install a kernel 3. run modules-update
you need to have a dir in /lib/modules which is named exactly like `uname -r`
