Without more info I can't be much help. But here's a pointer, just in case :
The modules init script launches modules-update, which can be launched at the 
command line. The error you have is consistent (and, looking at the code of 
the scrip can only be caused by) modules-update failing.

You should try to launch it yourself at the command-line. You should get some 
output that could be useful.

modules-update has a man page. You should look at that too.

The main cause for this behaviour would be :
- modules-update thinks your modules.conf is not auto generated and refuses to 
overwrite it.
- there is a mistake in one of the files in /etc/modules.d/ . I have seen this 
caused by etc-update, which can sometimes munch files.

Hope this helps,
