<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br>
<br>
From <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild">KernelBuild</a>
post, I don't see "make modules" command. This article only
executes "make"
<div>command before "sudo make modules_install install".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I am a little confused, is "make modules" optional in
building kernel? No "make modules" command,</div>
<div>we can also execute "make modules_install" command?</div>
<div><br>
</div>

From "make help", you can see the following output:<br>
...<br>
all - Build all targets marked with [*]<br>
* vmlinux - Build the bare kernel<br>
* modules - Build all modules<br>
modules_install - Install all modules to INSTALL_MOD_PATH
(default: /)<br>
...<br>
* bzImage - Compressed kernel image (arch/x86/boot/bzImage)<br>
...<br>
install - Install kernel using<br>
(your) ~/bin/installkernel or<br>
(distribution) /sbin/installkernel or<br>
install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo<br>
<br>
