I just checked my /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and I see the depmod command in
there, too. Like Eddie, I waited at least 15 minutes for my machine to
boot after it hung at "finding module dependencies". I have a dual PII
350 512 MB RAM. I saw the same thing with another machine, dual PII 300
384 MB RAM. What's the deal?
