I think this is working-as-designed. As of Fedora 6 and higher, modprobe will look in /lib/modules/$kernelver/extra/ for add-on modules by design. DKMS knows this, and overrides the specified DEST_MODULE_LOCATION values specified in dkms.conf. Is this causing you a problem in some way? Thanks, Matt Ah, thanks for the clarification. This should perhaps be noted in README.Fedora, otherwise the user would take the information in the dkms manpage to be authoritative. http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/dkms-devel/2009-April/000874.html includes a patch for the manpage. I'm going to mark this as closed now. Thanks, Matt |
Description of problem: DKMS ignores said configuration key, as specified in /usr/src/$MODULE_NAME-$MODULE_VERSION/dkms.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.19.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dkms-ndiswrapper, or any other DKMS package from FreshRPMS. Or roll your own 2. find /lib/modules -name 'ndiswrapper*' 3. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the module (FreshRPMS sets the quiet flag so a lot of information is not shown) Actual results: All kernel modules installed in /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/extra, rather than /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/... as specified in dkms.conf Expected results: DEST_MODULE_LOCATION option honored Additional info: For example, this is the dkms.conf for ndiswrapper: PACKAGE_NAME=ndiswrapper PACKAGE_VERSION=1.52-1.fc9 MAKE[0]="make KERNEL_LOCATION=${kernel_source_dir}" CLEAN[0]="make clean" BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]=ndiswrapper DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]=/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ndiswrapper AUTOINSTALL="YES" and here is where it ended up: $ find /lib/modules/2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64/ -name 'ndiswrapper*' /lib/modules/2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64/extra/ndiswrapper.ko
