Subject: Module.symvers file

Greetings all;

I just found that a make all in 2.6.34-rc4 will generate the Module.symvers
file. But my normal build and install does not.

What do I need to add to my regular 'makeit' file in order to have this file
built by a normal build?

Thanks.

You need to run make vmlinux and make modules (or simply make all) to
generate a full list of exported symbols. Only doing one of the steps
will generate a partial list, obviously.
