I'm running 2.4.15-pre6 here, and for several previous
versions there's been an unusual (but harmless) error message
when installing modules via "make modules_install" once the
kernel build is done.
looks like this:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom'
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.15-pre6/kernel/drivers/cdrom/
cp cdrom.o cdrom.o /lib/modules/2.4.15-pre6/kernel/drivers/cdrom/
cp: will not overwrite just-created `/lib/modules/2.4.15-pre6/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o' with `cdrom.o'
make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom'
make[1]: *** [_modinst_cdrom] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers'
make: *** [_modinst_drivers] Error 2
...As I say, it's harmless. cdrom.o is getting installed, and
you can just make -i ... to get past it.
I'm guessing that I'm the only one getting this error (since I
cant find any other complaints about it) because i'm using the
latest fileutils v4.1.1 off alpha.gnu.org, which must have code
to complain about such things -- but still, that
cp cdrom.o cdrom.o /big/long/directory
...just looks weird. Somebody leave something hanging in
one of the makefiles?
