How to fix a 500 OOPS: vsf_sysutil_recv_peek error

Question

Recently, after converting a store-backed instance to a EBS-backed I got some warnings, but I have a working AMI. However, I was not able to connect to vsftpd from my ftp client. It throws the error: 500 OOPS: vsf_sysutil_recv_peek

The solution proposed in some sites for this problem is to load capability module:

$ modprobe capability

But I got this:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.16.33-xenU/modules.dep: No such file or directory

How do I resolve this problem? Keep in mind that I can access to my instance via SFTP using WinSCP or another client, but I would prefer to resolve this to avoid using it.

Using CentOS 5.7

Download it here http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/ec2-modules-2.6.16.33-xenU-x86_64.tgz

copy 2.6.16.33-xenU to /lib/modules/ This solved my issue when I was using fuse. command modprobe fuse gave me the same error Hope this helps
