Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 116316
make modules failing to create /lib/modules/`uname -r`
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:00 EST
Description of problem: Building kernel on up2date as of Thurs. Feb. 19th 2004 rhel-ws 3.0 fails during make modules install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Build kernel and try to do make modules install Steps to Reproduce: 1. make mrproper 2. make oldconfig ( after moving over a .config ) 3. make dep 4. make bzImage 5. make modules 6. make modules install Actual results: Fails to create /lib/modules/`uname-r` and move the files into the directory. Expected results: Make modules to work like it ususally does. Honestly I dont know why its not working, I could be doing something wrong but I have been doing this for years and I have never had this not work. I have been trying to compile a kernel on this system for hours now. Additional info:
