Based on what I've been seeing (and commenting on) in bug 117023, I thought I'd add a paragraph to the kernel upgrade guide. It's really a very handy quick description of the common use of module-rebuild. I only plan to cover "module-rebuild populate" and "module-rebuild rebuild"--bare usage tips. Anything else gets referred to "module-update --help". Patch should go up shortly.
Created attachment 76358 [details, diff] kernel-upgrade.xml.patch A brief paragraph addition that should be very helpful.

> Once you have finished upgrading or recompiling your kernel, run > <c>module-rebuild rebuild</c> to rebuild the drivers for your new kernel. Shouldn't we recommend it's done before rebooting? Does module-rebuild rebuild for the running kernel or for whatever /usr/src/linux points to? The latter, I suppose.
Created attachment 76362 [details, diff] kernel-upgrade.xml.patch Added reboot info and which modules are rebuilt. Surprisingly, it's actually for only the currently running kernel. For users that boot into whatever /usr/src/linux points to, this is not a problem, as this is obviously the kernel that will have its modules rebuilt if it is recompiled/upgraded. :)
In CVS. Thanks.
