boot logging and module dep

[gkamendje]

Hi Can someone tell me how to enable boot logging under Knoppix?
I see a message similar to
Could not load lib/modules/modules.dep
scrolling on the screen at boot time.
There is no lib/modules/modules.dep but rather
there are multiple
lib/modules/2.6.24-*/modules.dep
files.
I would like to log the boot process in order to undestand which part of the boot process accesses the modules.dep file and modify accordingly
Thanks for any hint.
