Just because you've built the modules does not imply that they should be installed. Indeed, using the 'kernel-modules' package is telling bitbake that you want all possible modules installed in your image. Often this is not needed nor desirable and only a [limited] set of kernel modules will be installed. So, yes, this is the expected behaviour. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
