| Post subject: | make modules_install |
Hi all Trying to make modules. However, something goes wrong. Using the procedure outlined i the "Efika OpenFirmware and Linux Howto". + make without arguments produces a working zImage - make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/ modules_install seems to abort prematurely, look at this: e5k125:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19# make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/ modules_install >MakeMods.log 2>&1 & [1] 19842 .... [1]+ Done .... e5k125:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19# tail MakeMods.log .... .... INSTALL sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko INSTALL sound/usb/snd-usb-lib.ko INSTALL sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-usx2y.ko if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b /tmp/ -r 2.6.19; fi e5k125:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19# Questions: - what's the cause for this strange end of the log file? - does this any harm? - how can I correct this? - how can I find out, whether modules have not been produced, and if so which ones? |

The command should have installed all the modules just normal. I cannot see any abnormalities in the log. Although you haven't posted the whole log... If you do not understand the last line then let me try to explain: Modules need to be loaded in a specific order: user wants to load module B, which requires module A. So if the user types "modprobe B" to load the module B the modprobe needs to load module A first. These dependencies are "created" with the depmod utility. And that is what the last line of the log does. regards, -corsair EDIT: This might be interesting to understand the options of the depmod execution: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/cmd ... h=d/depmod |
