generate modules.dep and map files.         depmod creates a
list of module dependencies by reading each module under
/lib/modules/version and determining what symbols it exports and
what symbols it needs. By default, this list is written to
modules.dep, and a binary hashed version named modules.dep.bin,
in the same directory. If filenames are given on the command
line, only those modules are examined (which is rarely useful
unless all modules are listed). depmod also creates a list of
symbols provided by modules in the file named modules.symbols
and its binary hashed version, modules.symbols.bin.   depmod
will also generate various legacy map files in the output
directory for use by the older hotplug infrastructure. These map
files are largely deprecated.     -a --all -A --quick -b basedir
--basedir basedir If your modules are not currently in the
(normal) directory /lib/modules/versio
