Hi Everybody,

First of all, I'm new to Makefiles, so the following might be all wrong :-)
The makefile contains
        "depmod -ae $(KERNEL_VERSION)"
My "man depmod" says:
        -a --all                Probe all modules.
                                This option is enabled by default,
                                if no file names are given in command-line.
        -e --errsyms    When combined with the -F option, [...]

So one could leave out the -e option, and if all depmod versions behave the 
same here also the -a option. Right?

Is it needed to manually run depmod anyway if using a recent kernels 
modules_install?

Same thing above where it says
        cd $(KERNEL_DIR) && MAKE -C $(KERNEL_DIR)
Why go to KERNEL_DIR twice?

The SUBDIRS variable is used. In the Makefile of kernel version 2.6.25 it says 
that it would be old syntax - i don't know how old and wether it is still 
needed to support previous kernel versions, though.



Sincerely,

Daniel
