I tried this, and it nearly worked. I am building for a version of the linux kernel which is not the one I am running on the machine the build on. I used debmod -b <path to virtual root> and depmod tried to access the modules at <path to virtual root>/lib/modules/<build machine kernel version> rather than at <path to virtual root>/lib/modules/<target kernel version>. So I guess my next version is how do I tell depmod which version to look for?
