Hi: The modules file is not system-generated. If you blow it away, you'll have to rebuild it from scratch. The reason why this is is that you need to instruct the system which modules are to be loaded and what, if any, parameters to pass to them. However, you did mention something in your message that caught my attention. make dep is one of the earlier parts of the kernel process and, I think, would need to be run before make modules and make modules_install.
