Subject: 2.6.37-rc3-git installed modules zero bytes long

openSUSE 11.3 on one box and openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 4 on the other.
I have a message that says the built modules not found. When I check
e.g /lib/modules/2.7.37-rc3-git7-smp, most modules are zero bytes long.
I have to "make modules_install" and use modprobe on each.
To get the network up on the 11.3 box "modprobe r6189" then "rcnetwork
restart", "modprobe rtl8187", "/etc/init.d/network-remotefs start",
etc., etc.
Then ifconfig is OK for those devices.

Confused, shouldn't we always run 'make modules_install'?
What did you do before that?

Hmm, nothing is wrong with this script.

Sounds like a regression, but I don't recall we have any 'module_install'
changes recently.

What does 'make V=2 modules_install' output?

Thanks.

OK. I built 2.6.37-rc3-git7-smp on the second box, checked the modules
were OK. Rebooted and modules were still OK, built the NVidia module,
rebooted and it's OK.
I didn't build VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.10_66523 modules this time to
eliminate that as the problem previously appeared after I had rebuilt
VBox as the last action before rebooting straight into X.

I'm now building 2.6.37-rc4-git1 and I shall repeat that sequence again.
Regards
Sid.

This problem has showed up again in 2.6.38-rc6-git5 and openSUSE 11.4
RC1. The previous kernel 2.6.38-rc6-git2 was OK.
The modules are OK before a reboot, after a reboot all modules are zero
bytes long. I'm building 2.6.38-rc6-git6 to see if that suffers the same
problem, e.g.

Subject: Re: 2.6.37-rc3-git installed modules zero bytes long - only on root xfs

The problem occurs on the systems with root on xfs, the boxes with ext4
have not been affected.
On the 2 affected boxes, 2.6.36-rc6-git6 - one had no problems and and
one several rebuilds and reinstalls of modules had to be done to get it
to work with the exception of one module.
slipstream:/home/lancelot # depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map
WARNING: Can't read module
/lib/modules/2.6.38-rc6-git6-smp/kernel/drivers/mtd/nftl.ko: Not a directory

Listing the module it says 0 bytes whereas before the reboot it was OK.
