I removed kernel modules installed with rpm using yum remove kmodname. The *.ko was located under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/.

I run depmod -a and I get depmod: ERROR: fstatat(4, kmodname.ko.xz): No such file or directory

How can I force depmod to update its database?

    Same thing can happen in some situations after dkms uninstall, FYI for anyone coming across this.

Most likely you have symlinks, probably under one of your kernels' weak-modules, pointing at modules that have been deleted.
