Re: problems when recompiling dmasound modules

so they rely on `make oldconfig' and `make dep' instead...

vi Makefile, change EXTRAVERSION to append -ids (my usual kinda practice)...

make oldconfig dep vmlinux modules

 - builds dmasound_core & dmasound_awacs

make_install creates a new /lib/modules/2.4.0-test13-pre3-ids and the
modules appear to be installed...

so... it seems to work for me.

The problem only shows up when I boot the new kernel and try to insmod the
dmasound modules, have you tried that?

yes, just double-checked (in case my mind was playing tricks...) all OK
AFAICT.

If make dep is always needed after make oldconfig that may be the problem as I
also rely on make oldconfig telling me if I have to do that. (real men, you
know ;)

I'd assumed it was necessary... I can't recall ever seeing the Makefile
finish an oldconfig without saying "now do a make dep"...

Me neither probably... This was it. Thanks guys for bringing me on the right
track.
