Description Darren Kirby 2007-05-21 16:29:12 UTC

Code listing 9 of the PPC64 2007.0 hanbook (URL above) states:

# make vmlinux && make modules_install

This command will build vmlinux but not the modules. The command should be:

# make && make modules_install

for 2.6.* kernels, which includes the 'gentoo-sources' kernel for PPC64.

Thanks. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make vmlinux && make modules_install
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The 'make modules_install' step does nothing but run depmod, but there are no modules!
