Why are you trying to do it by hand? Just use emerge and let portage take care |
| 47 |
of all the housekeeping for you: |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
- emerge module-rebuild |
| 50 |
- run module-rebuild populate |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
- point /usr/src/linux at the source for the kernel you want to build for |
| 53 |
- run module-rebuild rebuild |
| 54 |
- repeat for each kernel |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
The ebuild/driver package is smart enough to install kernel modules in the |
| 57 |
correct directory in /lib/modules/ when you do it this way/ |
