etc/modprobe.devfs not beeing automatically generated in Sabayon 3.3

[Gallienus]

I seem to be having a problem. During the boot process I get the following error.

etc/modprobe.devfs has not been automatically generated. use modules-update force.

Once the computer is up and running I can issue that command and it returns:

ocalhost gallienus # modules-update force
* Warning: the current /etc/modprobe.devfs has not been automatically
* generated
* --force specified, (re)generating file anyway
* Updating /etc/modules.conf ... [ ok ]
* Updating /etc/modprobe.conf ... [ ok ]
* Updating modules.dep ... [ ok ]
localhost gallienus #

When I reboot I get the same error. I think this is related to another problem I'm having. During the boot process it reports that my file system isn't clean.
I've used SystemRescue CD a few times to fix this with the following commands

reiserfsck --check /dev/sda1 and then reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/sda1

When I reboot to Sabayon after using reiserfsck it reports that the file system is clean. But when I reboot the computer after using it for a while it reports that the file system is not clean again.

I don't think I had this problem before resizing my / partition which is on sda1. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm not 100% sure but I think you should check the "no-old-linux" USE flag for module-init-tools. Whatever it is set to, reverse it and see what happens...
If that doesn't do it, I guess it's a partition problem or that file has been corrupted.

Think reiserfsck --rebuild-sb would work? And would that trash that partition?

---edited----

Alright just uninstalled that package and reinstalled it with +no-old-linux, I think. I did it with Kuroo not sure if the change in use flag took

Well I tried to uninstall and reinstall module-init-tools with the USE flag -no-old-linux and no-old-linux. When that didn't work I used reiserfsck and used --check --fix-fixable --rebuild-sb and lastly --rebuild-tree.

I still got the same error about etc/modprobe.devfs not being regenerated automatically. And I still get the file system is not clean message on each reboot.

Do you think I'll need to just nuke the /dev/sda1 root partition and reinstall sabayon?
