Ahhh....  I said "make sure you have both" enabled and I did mean *both*.  So, I can't see
why I would be seen as advocating to disable one.

Anyway, to repeat, there is no indication they are "running" and doing the needed depmod
along the way.  So, it is possible (and I've done it) to mess things up beyond their
ability to recover.  I don't know if that is what happened in your case....but since the
solution for you was was to manually run "depmod -a" I would think it is a possibility.
