Hi,
what are other embedded developers experience with using the
script "depmod.pl" from BusyBox to create
installdir/lib/modules/<version>/modules.dep
during compile-time?
(It's this beast:
http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/busybox/examples/depmod.pl?rev=20447&view=markup
I tried this thing to be able to modprobe off a read-only flash
rootfilesystem and it "sort of" works, actually.
However there is no way you will pass this to the kernel DEPMOD
parameter, I only ever get this to work when doing it after
compilation, as a separate step.
Is there anyone beside me who would like to see this integrated
into scripts/ in the kernel to get some default modules.dep for
a read-only rootfs also when doing cross compilation, or am I
totally going down the wrong lane here?
Yours,
Linus Walleij
