Hi Michal, I compiled my kernel in a directory /home/robert jarzmik/kernel, and that's the first time I encountered a space in the path containing my kernel in years. I was wondering if there is a known constraint that the linux kernel source should be contained within a path without any space ? If no such constraint is known, maybe you could consider the patch in [1]. Cheers. -- Robert ---8>--- >From a8af33224ad536cc3137297e4a7617ee1031efb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 21:42:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: fix modules_install with spaces in kernel path When the kernel path contains a space somewhere in the path name, the modules_install target doesn't work anymore, as the path names are not enclosed in double quotes. This patch fixes the modules_install target.
