Correcting modules not loaded error on Centos 6. x

A common problem after upgrading a kernel via yum on Centos is not creating the new kernel modules.
An example of this error happens when you try to use grep as in the print below.

# iptables-L-n | grep "my ip"
FATAL: Could not load/lib/modules/2.6.32-042stab123.9/modules.dep: No such file or directory

#
This indicates that the directory 2.6.32-042stab 123.9 and therefore any module in your content can be loaded.

To correct this problem, the simplest way is this recipe:

# mkdir -p /lib/modules/uname -r

# cd /lib/modules/uname -r
[root@vps3 2.6.32-042stab123.9]# depmod
[root@vps3 2.6.32-042stab123.9]# ls -lah
total 64K

[root@vps3 2.6.32-042stab123.9]#
This will create the directory and dependencies to modules for the kernel currently in use (uname -r).

If the problem is not resolved with the above commands. Try to reinstall the kernel via yum with the commands below.

mv /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bak yum -y reinstall kernel

And then try the commands listed earlier.

I hope you find it useful both when it was for me.
