Hey all, What exactly happens when we say, make modules_install during the kernel compilation.
The modules are moved to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ .
Many documents suggest to change the /lib/modules to some other name say, /lib/modules.old. Because the new modules may conflict the existing ones and cause problems whenver the system is rebooted.
Only if you are compiling the kernel sources for the currently used kernel. SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
