On booting after the normal BIOS screen then selecting "Ubuntu, with
Linux 2.6.35-22-generic" in GNU GRUB I also get the message :-

"modprobe: Fatal: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/modules.dep: no such file or directory"

twice on screen and then after a delay of about 20 seconds I get a
Ubuntu screen with three dots followed shortly by the login screen.

My hardware is an Acer Revo R3610 with 2 gig of RAM  
I did a clean install of 32 bit Ubuntu from a USB on 11 Oct 2010 and have had 
the error on every boot since then.  I have the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics 
driver (current version)" installed (this was as it was recommended and also it 
resolved an issue I was having getting sound to work via HDMI output)

Also doing a search for "modprobe: FATAl:" in all open ubuntu forums
shows at least 4 active threads discussing this issue, so it may well be
more widespread than the 90 odd reports in this bug report suggests.

One question - there seems to be an assumption in this thread that
because the computer then proceeds to the normal login that everything
else is working correctly - what is the evidence to support this
assumption ?
