The odd thing I have in a specific configuration is that depmod is missing the kernelrelease when I only build install rules, though I had built everything before and kernelrelease should be there: $ make <makeflags> $ make <makeflags> modules_install zinstall ... DEPMOD Usage: .../scripts/depmod.sh /sbin/depmod <kernelrelease> Note that makeflags include the -j option, INSTALL_MOD_PATH and INSTALL_PATH variables set, so no root perms required in this case. I agree, the fix to add a dependency to the kernelrelease file is wrong here since it rewrites the object tree, which should be readonly for install rules. I could reproduce the error above in my setup and will look at it again, hopefully fixing it more carefully. Appologize the trouble this made.
