depmod makes empty modules.dep
Hi
I am running 2.4.18pre7 on an Alphaserver (Noritake), a kernel I've
configured. I've made some components modules but no matter what I
do, I can't get depmod to do anything but create an empty
modules.dep. Do I need to upgrade modutils (currently 2.3.11-13.1)?
Do I need to take the whole system to "testing" to run 2.4 properly?
TIA.
Toby
