In addition to Dave's advice, this indicates maybe a problem in your
/etc/modules.conf, I think. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Look for any "above" and "below" lines concerning these modules. Actually,
I'd be surprised if there were any, since running 'depmod -a' should
properly build your module depency tree (thus, you shouldn't need anything
in modules.conf for that), but it's something to look into.
