Thanks for the reply. It seems fairly straightforward. From reading this, |
| 4 |
I would think that running module-rebuild populate would be the first task. |
| 5 |
Add/Del package would be for building discriminate versions of a kernel |
| 6 |
(presumably for locating problems or just testing out a kernel revision), |
| 7 |
list is simply a list of what's been 'populate'd, toggle would have similar |
| 8 |
usage as Add/Del, except that it would allow/disallow a package which has |
| 9 |
been 'populate'd, and rebuild would be the heart of the reason for this |
| 10 |
utility, to rebuild a set of modules into a new kernel. Assuming I'm at |
| 11 |
least somewhat correct in this, my only point of confusion is whether I |
| 12 |
compile the new kernel first, then run module-rebuild? Or does running |
| 13 |
module-rebuild 'rebuild' allow me to compile the new kernel, link it, and |
| 14 |
reboot into it? |
| 15 |

module-rebuild --help |
| 51 |
/usr/sbin/module-rebuild: illegal option -- - |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Oh, apparently --help is not enabled; but if you run it either with no |
| 54 |
options or an 'illegal' option, you get the 'proper usage help', as is |
| 55 |
standard for most Linux command-line probrams. |

Do you need more than that? It's a pretty simple module atm. |
