i'm new to archlinux so i don't really know if what i'm going to say is in the spirit of this linux distribution. anyway, i'd like to see implemented a way for having a linux kernel with modules disabled and not having to run the "depmod" command before rebooting. if you don't run that command, as you probably know, at boot time you get the "no such file or directory" error because of the missing "modules.dep" file. i opened a forum discussion before opening this task. you can read it at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=791486. thank you.

load_modules=off in the boot options should do the trick.

it doesn't work. i removed "/lib/modules/2.6.34.1" and then added "load_modules=off" in the "menu.lst" file. it still says that it cannot find the "modules.dep" file (of course, i deleted it along with its parent directory).

New patch, currently pending in arch-project remove depmod from rc.sysinit. This should settle the issue.
