Tim 

   You could edit rc.sysinit to comment out 

if [ -L /lib/modules/default ]; then
  INITLOG_ARGS= action "Finding module dependencies: " depmod -A default
else
  INITLOG_ARGS= action "Finding module dependencies: " depmod -
fi


But there is a definit risk in that if there is a module change...
things could get real flakey if you haven't manually done a depmod -A on
your own before the last shutdown.  or if something got kinked there
would be no "protection" in place to unkink it.

The other point might be that you really need to add something to your
modules.conf for depmod to find.  Do you know what modules it uses (when
running.)
