"make kernel" - no modules

nsayer · Nov 17, 2012

I just switched from using cvsup(1) for updating to svn(1). In doing so, I did a checkout of base/releng/9.0 and then did a make kernel in /usr/src.

The result of that was a /boot/kernel that *just* had the kernel in it - no modules, as there were in the past.

What happened? Is there some difference in make.conf content that would explain why none of the modules were installed (looking in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/{kern conf}/modules/usr/src/modules/ I *do* see .ko files).

Does /etc/make.conf have a NO_MODULES entry?

Nope.

Then look for /etc/src.conf.

No such file.

Same problem with 9.1-RELEASE.

It happens for you but not for others. So what have you changed in your config? How are you building the kernel? Please be as specific as possible.

I have KERNCONF set in make.conf and am just running make kernel.

I think I have figured it out, though.

I'm building a slight variant on XENHVM. Diffing the two, I see the significant differences, but also somehow

Code:

makeoptions MODULE_OVERRIDES=""

got in there. I have no idea how. I can only guess it was in some version of that file from a while ago and persisted, and MODULE_OVERRIDES perhaps changed its meaning or functionality at some point.
