Hello,
What can I do when attempting to run depmod with these options:
-Ae -b base -F System.map
to prevent depmod from appending the following path:
lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/modules.dep.temp
to the specified base? I am specifying a base as:
-b ./lib/modules/2.6.16.23-custom
So depmod errors/fails with: FATAL: Could not open ./lib/modules/2.6.16.23-custom/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/modules.dep.temp
btw, '/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5' belongs to the native system that is running on my host
Why is depmod using that "system" path?
Do you want to run depmod against /lib/modules/2.6.16.23-custom ? Then,
depmod -a /lib/modules/2.6.16.23-custom
should do. If you add '-b foo', it will prepend the 'foo' to your default version (`uname -r`) which is what you are seeing.
