Subject: instructions of 2.6 README not working

Hi,
I just download 2.6-test9 and line 122 of the README says "sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel install_modules install".
This doesn't work though (at least not here). I tried this:
$ su
# make O=/mnt2/var/kernels/linux-2.6.0-test9/build modules
# make O=/mnt2/var/kernels/linux-2.6.0-test9/build modules_install
and it worked. I suppose this is a mistake in the README... no?

No. This works with GNU Make 3.80. I suspect your version is older.

Stupid typo - I confuse install_modules with modules_install sometimes...
I will fix in the 2.6.1 timeframe - thanks.
