I essentially build and install my kernel as follows (I've included
the full script in case someone finds it useful):
make-kpkg --revision=${revision} kernel_image
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-${version}_${revision}_i386.deb
My question is this: How do I add modules to /lib/modules?
For example, I found that I neglected to include the lp modules and
want to build and install them in a similar Debian-fashioned way but
without doing a full kernel install and reboot. The docs indicated
that this might do it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:503]# make-kpkg modules_image
[...compilation deleted...]
for module in ; do
...
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `for module in ; do
But alas, it did not. make-kpkg modules_image appears to be more for
addons in /usr/src/modules (which does not yet exist on my system,
but creating it didn't help) rather than mainstreamed modules.
Suggestions?
