I'm not sure if it's significant, but I noticed a few errors toward the end of the build that look as if the current scripts still have a few places where they ignore the settings for the actual location of the kernel files. I noticed some earlier reports about this, though I believe they said that the latest version (.3) fixed it up.
I built using kernel-package and setting export MODULE_LOC=/usr/local/src/modules The actual tree was in $MODULE_LOC/lm-sensors/. Here's the tail end of the build log from fakeroot make-kpkg modules_image. It's the No such file or directory errors a few lines down that concern me, not only by their presence but by the paths they report: dh_builddeb --destdir=/usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.7/.. dpkg-deb: building package `lm-sensors-2.4.7' in `/usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.7/../lm-sensors-2.4.7_2.6.0-3+rb.2_i386.deb'. dh_testdir dh_testroot /usr/bin/make clean COMPILE_KERNEL=0 grep: /usr/src/linux/Makefile: No such file or directory grep: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/modules/lm-sensors' rm -f mkpatch/.temp rm -f lib/*.ld lib/*.ad rm -f lib/*.lo lib/*.ao rm -f lib/libsensors.a lib/libsensors.so.1.2.0 lib/libsensors.so.1 lib/libsensors.so lib/conf-parse.h lib/conf-parse.c lib/conf-lex.c rm -f prog/sensors/*.rd prog/sensors/*.ro rm -f prog/sensors/sensors rm -f prog/sensord/*.rd prog/sensord/*.ro rm -f prog/sensord/sensord rm -f prog/dump/*.rd prog/dump/*.ro prog/dump/isadump prog/dump/i2cdump prog/dump/i2cset rm -f prog/detect/*.rd prog/detect/*.ro prog/detect/i2cdetect rm -f lm_sensors-* make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/modules/lm-sensors' mv -f debian/control.save debian/control rm -rf debian/modules dh_clean debian/lm-sensors-2.4.7.* # The dependancies take care of building the module package. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/modules/lm-sensors' Module /usr/local/src/modules/lm-sensors processed fine [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.7$ --------------------------------------- Previous correspondence, with the build steps > > RB> My current thinking about the proper steps: > RB> apt-get remove lm-sensors > > (Shouldn't be necessary) I skipped this step. > > RB> apt-get install lm-sensors-source i2c-source > RB> untar, establish links and environment variables to get those two > RB> modules where I actually > RB> have my kernel modules > > The modules *should* show up in the right place when you install the > package (under /lib/modules/$(KVERS)). > > RB> make-kpkg clean > RB> disable i2c in kernel configuration fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=rb.2 kernel_image fakeroot make-kpkg modules_image
