I think that is what I am looking for. So, calling make modules_prepare does something, but I am not sure how to copy the relevant files to a separate directory that can be deployed on another machine. I tried searching, but could not find clear resources - I tired make modules_prepare O=/some/path but that failed with the error included below.
I have a fully built kernel and modules in ~/data/dev/kernel/linux-2.6.37.6 - where make modules_prepare was called from. Can you please tell me how to use make modules_prepare properly. Thanks Autif autif@xu:~/data/dev/kernel/linux-2.6.37.6$ make modules_prepare O=/home/autif/data/dev/kernel/2.6.37.6.modules.O GEN /home/autif/data/dev/kernel/2.6.37.6.modules.O/Makefile scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig *** *** Configuration file ".config" not found! *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1 make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules_prepare'.
