Subject: [PATCH] [KBUILD] fix external module install path
Date: Mon, 07 May 2007 16:38:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <463F9C3B.4080004@sandeen.net> (raw)
Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path
under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23
makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir
(for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in
/lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko)
