Rupesh,

I've tried it with module-init-tools version 3.2-pre8 (since it was latest), it works like a charm. Thanks.

Daniel,

Assuming your kernel is 2.6 based, you might want to try module-init-tool=

s version 3.2-pre7. Also, it would be better to have the existing depmod re= named as depmod.old. This is for the new depmod to use in case it fails to = execute.

Hey folks,
=20
For certain, I understand why running make module_install fails if I run it after cross compiling the kernel+module.
What I'm doing now is, I've just commented out the bit in Makefile (where it exec's depmod), and everythings cool.

BUT, problem with this method is, I get none of the module.dep and many related files for auto loading of module.

What would be considered reasonable if I was to solve this ? =20
Thanks for your thought on this in advance.
