Description Richard Hartmann 2008-07-19 20:37:12 UTC
In Code Listing 2.19 ist says "make modules_install", whereas in 

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap3

Code Listing 3.8 it says "make && make modules_install"

"make modules_install" does not work, whereas obviously "make && make modules_install" does. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
cp: Aufruf von stat für »/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r6/modules.order« nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
make: *** [_modinst_] Fehler 1

Expected Results:  
Make the kernel and install the modules.

If that is what it says then why did you try something else? ;)

Nothing to fix here.

Scratch my last comment. I was looking at the wrong URL.

However, this bug is still invalid. The instructions on the quickinstall guide say to make then make modules_install which is equivalent to "make && make modules_install". Perhaps you forgot a step?

It's the same command. && just strings two separate commands together to be executed in sequence. Instead of running "cd /home" and then running "ls", I could just run "cd /home && ls" -- it's the same thing.

We separate them in the quickinstall guide to show the completion times for each task.

Not a bug; closing.
