From 8aa08ca6d4635da6a8bf948d02770570f1fa938d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jozsef Kadlecsik Date: Thu, 9 May 2013 11:49:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Check at modules_install whether depmod ignores the extra subdir The external kernel modules are installed in the extra subdir in /lib/modules//, but depmod in some distributions (at least in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) ingores the subdir. Warn about it, because that way the modules are actually not available there.
