Description Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-06 12:10:54 UTC 
Looks like scripts/mod/modpost is missing in kernel-source packge in STABLE.
Result is that external modules cannot be compiled any longer. :-(

Examples:

--> /work/built/info/failed/i386/nvidia-gfx-1_0_7676
--> /work/built/info/failed/i386/ati-fglrx-8_16_20

modpost did exist in former kernel-source releases.

# rpm -ql kernel-source-2.6.13.3-2|grep "scripts/mod/modpost"
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2-obj/i386/bigsmp/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2-obj/i386/debug/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2-obj/i386/default/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2-obj/i386/smp/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2-obj/i386/xen/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2/scripts/mod/modpost.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13.3-2/scripts/mod/modpost.h

#rpm -qp /work/CDs/all/full-i386/suse/i586/kernel-source.rpm
kernel-source-2.6.14_rc5-2
# rpm -qpl /work/CDs/all/full-i386/suse/i586/kernel-source.rpm |grep modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc5-2/scripts/Makefile.modpost
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc5-2/scripts/mod/modpost.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc5-2/scripts/mod/modpost.h

Please let me know when the build mechanism for external kernel modules has changed, so I can try to adjust these pacakges. BTW, I'm sure GPL kernel modules sources, which one wants to build, are affected as well.

Adding a ``make scripts'' helped; this has changed since 2.6.13. Fixed in CVS HEAD.
