  We study the stabilization of inter-brane spacing modulus of generalized
warped brane models with a nonzero brane cosmological constant. Employing
Goldberger-Wise stabilization prescription of brane world models with a bulk
scalar field, we show that the stabilized value of the modulus generally
depends on the value of the brane cosmological constant. Our result further
reveals that the stabilized modulus value corresponding to a vanishingly small
cosmological constant can only resolve the gauge hierarchy problem
simultaneously. This in turn vindicates the original Randall-Sundrum model
where the 3-brane cosmological constant was chosen to be zero.
