X-BeenThere: kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: Learn about the Linux kernel List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; Format="flowed" Errors-To: kernelnewbies-bounces@kernelnewbies.org When installing 1 or more out-of-tree modules within /lib/modules/$UNAME, is it possible to run depmod in an incremental fashion - adding symbols from the new modules to modules.dep[.bin] without re-scanning all of the other modules from that kernel version? I've tried specifying the new module files, but that seems to create a completely new modules.dep containing *only* the symbols from the new modules (which obviously isn't very useful). -- ======================================================================== Google Where SkyNet meets Idiocracy ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
