what do you expect the kernel's 'make modules_install' to do with your module ? It has no clue where to install it! For your install: line, just cp your .ko by hand to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/wherever.. I expected it to put it in 'extra'... It's not the fact of where to put it... it's the fact that it erased the entire existing modules tree! I can do a cp, that's not the part I care about... doing the depmod/generating all the meta-data files (if necessary) is really the problem... Is there a way of calling the makefile to 'add' a module to the tree without deleteing the entire tree? Let me put this another way: 1) Default install 2) Install kernel-devel-`uname -r`_FC4.i686.rpm 3) cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build 4) make modules_install /lib/modules/*/kernel is empty! Next time you reboot, any module you need to load will not be present... Call me crazy, but I don't think this is the best behaviour... Am I the only one who thinks this is a bug? |
