Wouldn't this do the same as going into the ".scripts/" directory and doing make? My problem is that the script 'modpost' requires the include file, elfconfig.h, because it is included in modpost.c. > Most likely it is one of the worse Makefile... Entirely possible. Maybe the module shouldn't need the modpost script anymore? That would explain why my kernel built and runs fine without successful compile of the script. But then why is the source for the script still in the kernel tree? Thanks, Rich -------------------------------------------------------
