But, this patch only aids Debian in an ad-hoc file copy. I think chaning modules_install would be a more general solution. Can you use this patch as a prerequisite? https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/20230615111743.883891-1-masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx/ Then, you can simply remove "if is_enabled CONFIG_MODULES; then" so you can install the files unconditionally. > --- > scripts/package/builddeb | 6 ++++++ > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/scripts/package/builddeb b/scripts/package/builddeb > index 252faaa5561c..91261529f2c7 100755 > --- a/scripts/package/builddeb > +++ b/scripts/package/builddeb > @@ -70,6 +70,12 @@ install_linux_image () { > mkdir -p "${pdir}/usr/lib/uml/modules" > mv "${pdir}/lib/modules/${KERNELRELEASE}" "${pdir}/usr/lib/uml/modules/${KERNELRELEASE}" > fi > + elif [ -f modules.builtin ]; then > + mkdir -p "${pdir}/lib/modules/${KERNELRELEASE}" > + cp modules.builtin "${pdir}/lib/modules/${KERNELRELEASE}/modules.builtin" > + if [ -f modules.builtin.modinfo ]; then > + cp modules.builtin.modinfo "${pdir}/lib/modules/${KERNELRELEASE}/modules.builtin.modinfo" > + fi > fi > > # Install the kernel > -- > 2.40.1 > -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
