I assume by this you mean the timestamp on the kernel image bzImage.

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root  953423 Mar 19 00:50 bzImage

rc.modules calls depmod -a before any modules are loaded by it. I think rc.modules runs right after rc.S in the startup process.

Hmm, no I am not running any RAM disks I am not sure how to check this offhand but from everything I have read to this point it would be
loaded in lilo and there is nothing about initrd in my lilo.conf file.

Curious that bit above about modules.dep having a filesize of zero.

Oh yeah I figured out the X problem is because Frame buffering is off right now and I have X setup to use frame buffering.
