Bug 158572 – sys-cluster/cman-kernel-1.03, dlm-kernel, gfs-kernel, gnbd-kernel install kernel mods in '/' instead of the '/lib/modules/${KV_FULL}'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jasmine 2006-12-19 11:51:53 UTC]

for some odd reason, module_dir is no longer being defined by redhat-cluster (GFS) sources. Now, what happens after emerge gfs-kernel-1.03, is that the compiled modules are installed to '/' instead of '/lib/modules/${KV_FULL}
for example, '/fs/gfs/gfs.ko' is merged to '/', creating a "/fs" directory on '/', where it should actually be installing to /lib/modules/${KV_FULL}/fs/gfs/gfs.ko

I found the problem started happening last month (after portage update) with all the following packages:

sys-cluster/cman-kernel-1.03
sys-cluster/dlm-kernel-1.03
sys-cluster/gfs-kernel-1.03
sys-cluster/gnbd-kernel-1.03


Solution:
In the source_install() of the ebuild file, change this:
emake DESTDIR=${D} install || die "install error"

to this:
emake DESTDIR=${D} module_dir=${D}/lib/modules/${KV_FULL} install || die "install error"


I will make a seperate bug report for sys-cluster/gnbd-kernel-1.03 because it also failed to compile because of devfs stuff which breaks the compile against recent kernels with udev (ebuild requires 2.6.16 or higher kernel anyways, tested with 2.6.17-gentoo-r8), so requires additional patch to the source

cman-kernel and dlm-kernel are fixed in CVS. I don't use gfs or gndb, but I'll fix those soon if no one else does.

gfs and gndb fixed.
