There is a missing @ at line 896 of Makefile of the gentoo-dev-sources. I don't know how it is important, but I just reported it cause I found it in both 2.6.10-r6 and r7. IT WAS: [894].PHONY: _modinst_post [895]_modinst_post: _modinst_ [896] if [ -r System.map ]; then $(DEPMOD) -ae -F System.map $(depmod_opts) $(KERNELRELEASE); fi CORRECTED: [894].PHONY: _modinst_post [895]_modinst_post: _modinst_ [896] @if [ -r System.map ]; then $(DEPMOD) -ae -F System.map $(depmod_opts) $(KERNELRELEASE); fi
Unrestricting bug (was there a reason that it was to begin with?) and reassigning to maintainer.
No, the "kernel@" is the maintainer, not just me.
Its possibly supposed to be like that. I'd suggest you send a patch to the linux kernel mailing list and see what they think.
