mkinitrd complains modules.dep is not updated

I am trying to load the driver rr2310_00 ( raid controller ) when the 
system boots, using mkinird but it keeps telling me it cannot find 
dependencies of this module although I run depmod already. Below is the 
output of depmod and mkinitrd.

So right now I have to let the system load the driver after that but 
then the system uses its other driver to map this device into /dev/sdb 
and when the right module rr2310_00 is loaded, the same device is mapped 
to /dev/sdc.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
