Changing the timestamp shouldn't affect the file context.

The modules.dep.temp file shouldn't even exist most of the time, as it's
just a temp file created by depmod.

I have checked the /lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2157_FC5/
and found
"modules.dep" but not "modules.dep.temp" anymore.
Paul, uninstalling and reinstalling the kernel will be difficult for
me right now because, I had done many things after upgrade to kernel
specially my "nvidia" drivers which is not compatible with the older
kernel version (6.15) and may give more problem. I  think I will stick
with current settings right now until next similar problem arises
(hope not).

Anyway thanks a lot and Good day!
