Subject: installing modules to ($PREFIX)/lib/modules/2.....



I need to move the modules from a new kernel compile from my compile
machine to a production test. Previously this has been done with some
rsync and diff magic. The problem is the potential to kill the compile
server if a module is overwritten that is needed.

I've compiled my kernel and modules but want to install the modules to
/tmp/lib/modules/2.4.18 so I can tar that up and move it to the server
in question. Is there a system for doing this built into the kernel
compile structure I haven't found yet?

make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp modules_install
IIRC this is true for 2.4 as well.

Didn't work. Put them in /lib/modules/2.4.18. (Didn't bite me this time
because my server is on a different kernel but will in the near future).

I cut and past exactly as below.

My bad.
It is INSTALL_MOD_PATH.
Try that.
