At least on RedHat 6.0, there is a file:
/boot/module-info-<KERNEL_VERSION>
linked to by symbolic link /boot/module-info. During boot, sysinit
adjusts the link (along with that for System.map) based on uname -r if
it contains no "-", and in a more complicated fashion on /proc/version
otherwise. Unless I've screwed up (likely) building a new kernel from
source (through modules_install) doesn't create module-info. I'm
wondering what would care. The only reference I can find in the
kernel sources is a comment in the Makefile for ksymoops about how
RedHat users may want to make the default directory in which to look
for modules be that name (and it really seems to be looking for a
directory or a .o rather than this text file). Noting in the modutils
source, including the rh-patch, mentions it.
Does anyone know what uses this file and where it comes from?
