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.

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.
Confused, shouldn't we always run 'make modules_install'? What did you do before that?
As usual a script that does the following and never had problems before. It says it's installed the modules, but a check shows they are all zero bytes long. ------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh make -j 4 clean&& make headers_install&& make -j 4&& make -j 4 modules_install -------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
