Thanks, Mark.    That makes sense.

Support had me reinstall the kernel manually.  So something may not have
been updated properly.  All is good now.

I would guess that you're seeing that message when the kernel-default-base
package gets installed/updated, but not when the kernel-default package is
installed/updated.  If that is the case, then there is nothing wrong.  If
the kernel-default-base package gets installed before kernel-default, when
it calls mkinitrd gets called, the majority of the kernel modules don't
exist in the new /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ subdirectories, and you get
this message.  Then, when the kernel-default package gets processed,
mkinitrd is called again, all the modules are there, and you shouldn't see
the message.
