Sorry for being late. I worked on my machine and wasn't able to read any
mails.
I do have a config file for depmod in /etc/depmod.d called
00-system.conf, which has the following entries:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# /etc/depmod.conf - configuration file for the depmod(8) command,
# for its format see depmod.conf(5).
#
# Please don't edit this file, place your settings into the /etc/depmod.d
# directory.
# search order:
# 1 updates/ (KMPs)
# 2 extra/ (KMPs or manually compiled modules)
# 3 weak-updates/ (KMPs built for older kernels)
# 4 everything else
search updates extra weak-updates built-in
# do not generate modules.*map files
make_map_files no
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version of my inittools is: module-init-tools-3.12-6.1.x86_64. I don't
have a depmod.conf file.
After creating / changing this file, issue depmod -a again!
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Andreas
