Re: 2.6.0-test4-mm3

[Boszormenyi Zoltan]

Hi,

I tried to "make modules_install" on the compiled tree.
It says:

# make modules_install
Install a current version of module-init-tools
See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt
make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1

But I have installed it! It's called modutils-2.4.25-8
(was -5 previously) from RH rawhide, it works on older
(2.6.0-test4-mm1) kernels.
This modutils is united with module-init-tools-0.9.12,
it reports version 2.4.25 but detects newer kernels and uses
the new module interface.

I looked the kernel Makefile and found that it greps the version
it gets from depmod -V and wants module-init-tools.
My fix against the rawhide modutils is attached.
