kernel modules needed while compiling kernel

Hi all,

I encountered a problem while compiling buidroot. If I select the hotplug package, the compiling will lookup the root/lib/modules/2.6.x directory. Does it mean that I should compile the kernel here first?

And what's more, I wanted to use the 2.6.15 rc2 kernel, which should I modify? The header edition?

Thanks all.

Hi Li

I found that there is also a "diet hotplug", which could be more suitable for small systems and can be even used in initd.rd images. Although it seems to be in an early state and has not changed since August 2001.

Anyway hotplug needs the kernel include files and the modules to link. Maybe you can append the INSTALL_MOD_PATH=pwd/modules/
to your kernel make after you finished building buildroot without hotplug and build hotplug (udev) after that.
