(if you get two copies of this message, I sent it to freebsd.com by
accident the first time. I don't know if they are connected)
Do I have to build the modules everytime I want to install a kernel?
I have been building several kernels on my build machine in preparation
for my upgrade-a-thon tonight.
Now I wonder if I've been wasting my time.
I decided it would be a good idea to have a new GENERIC around. So I
built GENERIC (without rebuilding the modules) and tried to install it.
The command used for building GENERIC was :
make buildkernel -DNO_MODULES KERNEL=GENERIC
which completed successfully.
Running :
make installkernel KERNEL=GENERIC
fails with the following messages.
if [ -d /modules -a -n "`ls /modules`" ]; then mkdir -p /modules.old;
cp -p
/modules/* /modules.old; fi;
cd /usr/src/sys/modules && env
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC/
modules make install
===> aha
install -C -c -o root -g wheel -m 555 aha.ko /modules
install: aha.ko: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71
Stop in /usr/src/sys/modules/aha.
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

I have built and installed 6 kernels one at a time on this tree before I
decided to be smart and not re-compile the modules every time I compile a
kernel. Is this unsupported? The install options of -c is supposed to
copy and not move the files it is installing. Shouldn't the modules still
be around?
Thanks again
