 |

hello guys i am just instaling gentoo amd64 and i got stuck just after compiling kernel... my screen looks like this :
Kernel: | Code: | | arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready |
so i did : | Code: | | cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo |
and then to check modules i did : | Code: | | find /lib/modules/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less |
and i got this error: | Code: | find '/lib/modules/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo/' : No such file or directory
find 'type' : No such file or directory
find 'f' : No such file or directory |
i rly dont know where i did mistake whole setup went a bit too flawlessly |

Within /usr/src/linux run:
| Code: | | # make modules_install |
This will copy all built modules to /lib/<version>/
//edit: I usually run:
| Code: | | # make -j4 && make modules_install && make install |
So I don't have to copy the image manually etc. Just make sure /boot ist mounted, if on a seperate partition.

sadly... | Code: | | # make modules_install |
did not work i got same error
terminal response was : | Code: | INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/test_nx.ko
INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
INSTALL net/netfilter/xt-mark.ko
DEPMOD 3.0.6-gentoo |
and hows | Code: | | make && make modules_install |
and | Code: | | make -j4 && make modules_install && make install |
different except u define how many cores are compiling what does the do? |

There's no error reported here. Are there more messages you're not sharing? Otherwise, it looks like success to me.
"make install" copies the kernel image to /boot. It allegedly doesn't work on some obscure architectures so it isn't the standard Handbook method, but many of us have been using it on x86 and amd64 forever.

no i am showing everythink i can ....
1.st i did | Code: | | make modules_install |
response was: | Code: | INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/test_nx.ko
INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
INSTALL net/netfilter/xt-mark.ko
DEPMOD 3.0.6-gentoo |
2.nd i did | Code: | | find /lib/modules/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less |
response was: | Code: | find '/lib/modules/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo/' : No such file or directory
find 'type' : No such file or directory
find 'f' : No such file or directory |

Well, what doesreport? Seems like | Code: | | find '/lib/modules/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo/' : No such file or directory |
is a really big hint.

try (I think, can't check here): /lib/modules/3.0.6-gentoo/
You can also type /lib/modules/ and hit the TAB key to autocomplete folders in there.

/lib/modules/ here you get uname -r result and not kernel-version directory to hold modules
so stop searching the modules with a kernel-version in your find as this directory doesn't exist.
better use find /lib/modules/`uname -r`blahblah for your running kernel
or just cd to /lib/modules you will see the right directories names |

and now i dont get it...
handbook says in part 7c
| Code: | | Use whatever name you feel is appropriate for your kernel choice and remember it as you will need it later on when you configure your bootloader. Remember to replace kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r1 with the name and version of your kernel. |
so i defined name of my kernel | Code: | | kernel-3.0.6-gentoo |
then why when i run it says ??
also when i run | Code: | | find /lib/modules/3.0.6-gentoo/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less |
it returns only 3 .ko modules thats all? |

Looks correct to me, could even name them 
test_nx.ko, scsi_wait_scan.ko, xt-mark.ko
It's correct because it's what you have ask the kernel to do, it might not be correct if you didn't asked the kernel anything, but it's not a kernel issue, but a user configuration issue. |

Doesn't necessarily work because he's not necessarily running the kernel he's building.

Oh, I see. Correct, but not relevant.
Bia, krinn is absolutely correct that you have to ask the kernel to make modules. If you don't ask (by selecting modules during the kernel configuration process), you won't get any. We don't see any errors in what you've been reporting.
That doesn't mean that your kernel configuration is correct yet (although it may very well be). It just means that you're incorrect in thinking that you haven't made it through this step. You have.

Because just copying and renaming one file doesn't change what the kernel build process has already done to other files elsewhere in the filesystem. The kernel source code knows what version it is and names certain directories (like the ones under /lib/modules) appropriately.

firstly, step 7.e has been pretty well overtaken by development and can be skipped by almost everyone. udev and kernel and openrc take good care of modules.
if you really want to do it | Code: | | find /lib/modules/* -type f -iname '*.ko' | less |
will get you past the mental block about kernel names varying here and there
