Description Luke-Jr 2004-07-27 02:47:26 UTC

There should be an option of where modules_install puts stuff.

Comment 1 Luke-Jr 2004-07-27 19:39:11 UTC

<plasmaroo> Luke-Jr: For the makefile one I need to know what to pass to the kernel Makefiles.
<plasmaroo> Luke-Jr: I'll have a look at both tomorrow.
<Luke-Jr> k.. I'll look at what needs to be done for that
<plasmaroo> Thanks.
<Luke-Jr> done =p
<Luke-Jr> make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp
<Luke-Jr> makes /tmp/lib/etc
<Luke-Jr> (etc being English etc, not the literal text)
<plasmaroo> Ah; cool. I can add that.
<Luke-Jr> I guess that'd be --module-root
<Luke-Jr> or --root and use it for /boot too
<plasmaroo> Hm. Sounds good.

Just use '--no-install --module-prefix=<tempDir> --tempdir=<tempDir>' with 3.0.2e - the kernel and system map will be dumped into $tempDir and modules into $tempDir/lib/modules/...
