Subject: 2.5.50 Up and running but

Boot couldn't find the module dependency file, even though I did make modules
and make modules_install

Also the make config did not select the right Intel processor
nor is there a mouse driver

Having fun anyway.

Yeah, the make rule for depmod got removed in one of the module merges. This
will put it back. (Untested, my init scripts run depmod so it's not a big deal
for me.) Rusty, am I being stupid or is this okay now that depmod works?

What kind of mouse? What config option?

Yep, that's fine: the original modprobe replacement didn't need
modules.dep, but Adam Richter has 1300 modules and he complained about
the speed (and provided the patch to modprobe to use modules.dep, so
what could I say?)

Hopefully when Linus comes back he'll take my patches,
Rusty.
