In particular, the package claims: commit b4bc0a7f1b90a51e26d6ab74d964ff81cfe05904 Author: Khem Raj Date: Tue Jan 31 00:34:01 2012 -0800 kmod: Add recipes kmod is replacement for module-init-tools (From OE-Core rev: 716606f5446534e48b45fcc017e8bbdfe7f15e26) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie But is is really a "replacement"? I know that there is a provides which makes the build happy, but unless you explicitly install the kmod package into your image, you don't end up with all of the module tools. The main missing piece is 'depmod' - the rest seem to come from busybox, not kmod. I ran into this when trying to run 'opkg upgrade' which sucked in some new kernel modules and found that 'depmod' was not installed. Did I miss something? n.b. this was tested using Poky/Yocto 0fc8317c6385eb1ed69ca4522ee6424c456dbb92 which is a few days old. I've not checked the very latest master (yet). -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
