Error on boot: "Can't open /lib/modules/2.2.6-15apmac/modules.dep"

Error on boot: "Can't open /lib/modules/2.2.6-15apmac/modules.dep"

To fix this:

$ su -l root
Password:
# cd /lib/modules
# mkdir 2.2.6-15apmac
# cd 2.2.6-15apmac
# depmod -a

The error appears because the kernel is looking for a file that
describes dependencies between any kernel modules installed on your
system

The LinuxPPC 1999 installer installs a kernel with no modules then
forgets to generate this file.  

Applicable to :
- Distributions: LinuxPPC 1999 ("R5") only
- Hardware: all (?)
