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?

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.
