I haven't seen that before, but you're obviously using an "older" (not |
| 26 |
3.4.9_pre3) version of genkernel, since you've got an actual insmod binary |
| 27 |
instead of it being built into busybox. You should try using _pre3, because we |
| 28 |
always need testing :) Also, most of those 0-length files are supposed to be |
| 29 |
symlinks to /bin/busybox. Do you have a /bin/bb? |
