Full Text Bug Listing

There are two minor issues with the location the MOL kernel modules are getting
installd to with mol-0.9.71_pre1-r2.ebuild:

1. the tun.ko is not placed in the uname sensitive directory.
2. the name of the uname sensitive directory is not taking -smp into account.

1. was a problem in 0.9.70 ebuilds as well, 2 is new in this version.

(I had worked around #1 in 0.9.70)

I can reproduce this.  For now, just insmod the modules by path, I'll get this
fixed as soon as I can figure out why it's doing that. :p

heh, I've actually been working around it by moving the modules after emerging.
I've been looking into this some myself, trying to get a better understanding of
the linux-mod ebuild. Are there any docs on that?

Fixed in mol-0.9.71_pre1-r3.

just emerged mol-0.9.71_pre3 and tun.ko still lands in the wrong spot.

I can't replicate this, can you try with the latest ~ppc version and attach a
log of the build?

Created an attachment (id=71091) [details]
log of build

tun.ko really shouldn't be built on 2.6 kernels, so I've removed it from pre5. 
This fixes the problem. :)
