Hi all,

From KernelBuild <http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild> post, I don't see "make modules" command. This article only executes "make" command before "sudo make modules_install install".

So I am a little confused, is "make modules" optional in building kernel? No "make modules" command, we can also execute "make modules_install" command?

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

Thanks very much in advance!

Best Regards Nan Xiao
