I think it depends on which version of busybox you use. When we were using 1.01 I think I had to patch the kernel Makefile. I think I had to undo my patch when we upgraded to the 1.10 version of busybox.

You can also run the busybox depmod.pl after you've built the kernel, but before you make the file system. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
