Description Jeffrey C. Johnson 2002-03-11 15:26:07 UTC
/bin/sh: /sbin/depmod: No such file or directory
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 127

And there is no /sbin/depmod or /usr/sbin/depmod. What package is depmod in?

Thanks.

emerge --usepkg modutils

Installing the modutils package fixed the problem. You might want to add this to
the Installation instructions before the kernel build part.
