Maverick could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep

this started with linux-image-2.6.35-21-generic and persists with 2.6.35-22

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.)

I apologize; I have the same message of DickMc. I update the bug description

As for the mix-up: I get the following in the terminal

% update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.35 ~

and maybe I should add

I have the same problem. But the OS works.

I felt this was a timing issue, so I set my cpu to a slower speed in the BIOS and this error message disappeared. (I still have other problems though, like bug #595321. I don't know if they are related.)

I have the same problem as above although its not effecting me in anyway if anything just slowing down the boot time

Same thing : modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep No such file or directory.
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.

Same issue here.

This is fixed for me in kernel mainline v2.6.36-rc6-maverick

(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show)

Same exact problem here.
i think we should wait the 2.6.36?

I have upgraded to 10.10-RC and I have the same problem. Running dmesg, I have noticed that there are several lines like this:

[ 17.588275] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0

Can it be possible that modprobe is trying to read modules.dep while the FS is being re-mounted?

Sorry, my previous message was wrong; the error messages appear before the filesystem is mounted, so this lines aren't related to this bug.

j'ai le meme probleme

If I boot with nosmp, the problem seems to not happen. Back next normal boot.

For me, booting with smp doesn't solve the problem.

Same probleme on my netbook (KUBUNTU) with the 2.6.35-generic-pae kernel

Same problem for me with kernel 2.6.35-22-generic.

Hardware :
Mobo : Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
CPU : AMD Phenom 9850
4 GB RAM
Graphic card : NVidia

Same problem running 2.6.35-22-generic. Started with 2.6.35-20 I think.

same problem in here

Just installed 10.10 with a bunch of updates after install. The updates did not fix this. Same problem here.
Hoping we have a clean boot on 10.10.10 release.

although the system boots just fine. but this bug ruins the boot experience for many. can anyone from the kernel team please have a say on this.

Same here folks. Updated from Maverick beta to RC (2.6.35-22-generic kernel). Running Ubuntu Maverick on a Lenovo X200s laptop.

Please stop with "Same here"
Doesn't add anything to the bug report, only send a lot of email notifications!

Yes, just click the "affects me" button at the top of the page.

Same issue for me with Maverick RC on ASUS A6J laptop.

I hate when ubuntu goes 'Final Release' with this kind of errors

I have found a workaround that fixes the issue for me. I've edited the file /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and I've changed the line MODULES=most to MODULES=dep. Then, I've reinstalled initramfs-tools and the error messages have disappeared.

@ #31: Thanks durlo. Worked for me too.

Thanks. Actually error messages have disappeared for me as well with your workaround, but boot time is still quite long and I've lost my mouse pointer with gdm :(

Same here, running Ubuntu 10.10 Final.

Same, running the final.
It did it on an updated-to-10.10 Thinkpad X200

I also experience this exact bug on every boot since I updated from lucid to maverick.

Intel Core2 Duo E6850 @ 3GHz
2GiB RAM
booting from /dev/sdb1 per grub
x64 smp kernel 2.6.35-22-generic
nvidia graphics

Also maybe related is I get a really awful looking boot screen...even worse than it looked in lucid

Try to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf (sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf in the console) and change the line MODULES=most to MODULES=dep.

Then use Synaptic to reinstall initramfs-tools like "durlo" suggested.

It's not perfect, but it works.

Same problem here..
Went from 10.04 to BETa.... no problems...then when i upgraded on 10/10 to Maverick, the same error above.

Thanks Blaster, your fix is working but boot up experience is long..*-(

Please work to fix it - thansk

Fixed on latest 2.6.35-22. Thanks!

The same problem.

I have tried to reinstall kernels using synaptic, but this message is still appears

I forgot to say, I am using maverick amd64, upgraded from lucid.

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!

Affects my Toshiba A215-S7422 laptop. In addition to boot warnings, menus don't appear properly transparent and video artifacts appear.

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!

Thank you for your effort Andy! When can we expect the fix in the repos? :)

The patch works for 64-bit Maverick me on my CLEVO:M570RU-1.00.04SL (a.k.a. Sager 5791, also packaged & reold by AlienWare) with a 2x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz.

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
files and the kernel using 'dpkg -i <file>', then rebooted. Grub will show
you the new kernel on the boot screen.

@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.

Bob

I' have the same problem and read all your comments: it's all ok but can you detail how to install the patch?
Besides, which one I've to install considering my pc is an Acer TimeLineX Intel i3?
Thanks
Carlo

I have updated kernel to 2.6.35-25 today. It has had no effect for me. Strange...

It seems that 2.6.37 rc2 from mainline also fixes this bug, BTW it also boots up faster

Same as Martin: No more benefits with official kernel release update.
As I told before, patch worked on my laptop.

its weird that kernel 2.6.35.25 does not update my kernel at all

still stuck at 2.6.35.24

Hi Guys,
I'm struggling with this issue for quite some time now. I think I tried every suggestion I found on the web (except reinstall.... that's not an option :-()
I'm using 10.10 on an Asus F70 laptop. Unlike most responders I get the "Fatal" error during boot, but the boot process does *not* continue at all!
After changing MODULES=most to MODULES=dep, the message did disappear, but I still cannot boot (booted late at night and next morning the system still wasn't there.... just to make sure nobady claims I'm impatient :-S). All I can do to get my system running, is boot the 2.6.32-26-generic; I'm having this issue with both 2.6.35 kernels. I don't dare to update to 2.6.35-25 since I can't afford to loose this system (or better; to loose the time I'ld need to setup my development environment again).

So in my opinion, this is a critical issue.....

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.

-apw

Thnx for your answer Andy, but I'm afraid I need an extra hand filing a new but; the bug would contain something like "system won't boot"; all msgs I ever got is the 'modprobe: Fatal (...)'
There's no bootlog (since I can't boot the failing kernel, so any suggestions how I can gather more info? (sorry for being off-topic then :-S)

Andy, I wasn't able to install the headers/image deb files.

During the headers installation:
{{{

Thanks Omer, good call! On i386, installing these three worked:

Curious; now that we've manually added these linux-headers/image, will ubuntu auto-update upgrade us automatically once a later kernel is released upstream?

bah; comment spamming (sorry).

I did:
 1) installed the patched kernel/images/headers, seemed flawless.
 2) rebooted, yay! was fixed. the "shiny" ubuntu logo appears as expected, and there were no FATAL messages.
 3) ubuntu prompted me for a whack of updates (it looked like several applications needed to be updated w/ the newer kernel)
 4) rebooted, darn. got the same error as before. ... FATAL message present again.

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but are you sure you rebooted from the
patched kernel and not some updated ubuntu kernel?

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've had the same issue - installed the patch, it worked fine until a recent
set of updates, now seeing the FATAL message on startup again.

Same problem for me using kernel 2.6.35.25.
I found that installing kernel 2.6.35.11 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ solved the problem.
Strange because I thought the 2 kernels corresponded to one another, but either way it worked.

Problem was solved for me with installation of kernel 2.6.35.28.

Note: kernel 2.6.35.28 was patched as explained on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594981&page=9 (related to bug 636045) but don't think this is related anyhow.

Closing Maverick tasks Fix Released as the issue which triggers this message is now patched for Maverick.

Hi friends, once me also disturbed because of the same problem. this can be avoid by reinstalling the following files http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp642421-maverick/
just check...
thanks.

Downloaded regular kernel update today which is 2.6.35-27 and this has fixed my problem, error mess has now gone when booting - thanks

I upgraded both of my computers with the regular kernel update last night
and things are looking much better now with 2.6.35-27. Thanks and best
regards.

Same here, regular kernel update fixes the bug.

Verified with 2.6.35.28.

NOTE: Due to the workarounds supplied above, I was no longer getting automatic kernel updates. Apparently, when the above workaround failed, and I reverted the manual installation of that kernel, I accidentally removed the wrapper packages to get the latest kernel (linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic)

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.
