Hi all,

From KernelBuild post, I don't see "make modules" command. This article only executes "make"

command before "sudo make modules_install install".

So I am a little confused, is "make modules" optional in building kernel? No "make modules" command,

we can also execute "make modules_install" command?

From "make help", you can see the following output:
...
  all          - Build all targets marked with [*]
* vmlinux      - Build the bare kernel
* modules      - Build all modules
  modules_install - Install all modules to INSTALL_MOD_PATH (default: /)
...
* bzImage      - Compressed kernel image (arch/x86/boot/bzImage)
...
  install      - Install kernel using
                  (your) ~/bin/installkernel or
                  (distribution) /sbin/installkernel or
                  install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo
   
    - mudongliang

Thanks very much in advance!
