It was actually modutils that was masked out and replaced with |
| 35 |
modutils. This had not kicked in yet on the install image I was using |
| 36 |
on the netbook. I had to unmerge virtual/modutils and modutils, then I |
| 37 |
was able to emerge kmod. Both kernel 3.5.7 and 3.7.10 built and |
| 38 |
"make modules_install" worked. E.g... |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
[aa1][root][/usr/src/linux] make modules_install |
| 41 |
INSTALL drivers/char/kcopy/kcopy.ko |
| 42 |
INSTALL drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko |
| 43 |
DEPMOD 3.7.10-gentoo |
| 44 |

Thanks again. |
