Have you tried running 'depmod' command to rescan modules directory.No I haven't because I am not sure what it does. I ran accross this command but could not find much documentation about it. Will this have an effect on the other kernels (including ones I will still compile)? TIA Bram
man depmod'depmod creates a list of module dependencies, by reading each module under /lib/modules/version and determining what symbols it exports, and what symbols it needs. By default this list is written to modules.dep in the same directory. If filenames are given on the command line, only those modules are examined (which is rarely useful, unless all modules are listed).
If a version is provided, then that kernel version's module directory is used, rather than the current kernel version (as returned by "uname -r").'
I'm no expert but it seems to suggest it acts only on the running kernel unless you specify a different module directory.
