I've been looking at scripts/mod/modpost.c and I guess it wants the object files on the command line, and they aren't being supplied. I think the failing is in scripts/Makefile.modpost. However this makefile is quite convoluted, and beyond my understanding with only a 5-minute investement. I know that somewhere in there is supposed to expand a full list of modules to call modpost with. And for some reason, you are getting an empty list of modules here... What version of gcc are you using? I know 3.4.x works, not so sure about later versions... Again, emerge --info might provide some more insight... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] linux make modules fails
When I try to build the 'modules' target with linux it doesn't create the .ko files. It seems to get stuck at 'stage 2', whatever that means, and I am at a loss finding out what exactly stage 2 is, from looking at scripts/Makefile.modpost, and why it doesn't build. This happens with either a vanilla-sources or gentoo-sources kernel and doesn't happen when I try to build the gentoo kernel from within another system, like a knoppix liveCD. # make V=1 modules rm -f .kernelrelease echo 2.6.17-rc4 .kernelrelease set -e; echo ' CHK include/linux/version.h'; mkdir -p include/linux/; if [ `echo -n 2.6.17-rc4 | wc -c ` -gt 64 ]; then echo '2.6.17-rc4 exceeds 64 characters' 2; exit 1; fi; (echo \#define UTS_RELEASE \2.6.17-rc4\; echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE `expr 2 \\* 65536 + 6 \\* 256 + 17`; echo '#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) 16) + ((b) 8) + (c))'; ) /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-rc4/Makefile include/linux/version.h.tmp; if [ -r include/linux/version.h ] cmp -s include/linux/version.h include/linux/version.h.tmp; then rm -f include/linux/version.h.tmp; else echo ' UPD include/linux/version.h'; mv -f include/linux/version.h.tmp include/linux/version.h; fi CHK include/linux/version.h make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic mkdir -p .tmp_versions rm -f .tmp_versions/* make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=. mkdir -p arch/x86_64/kernel/ make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts ...

Hi Justin ~ Read the docs on Gentoo.org. Understand what Stage 2 is. If not , you might be better off with Unbuntu. I promise if you follow the docs you will get a wonderful, running Gentoo system.

I'm sorry, Ben, that I haven't been more explicit. I'm not talking about Gentoo's stage 2, I'm talking about stage 2 of the kernel's build proceedure of modules which gathers object files into kernel modules, so: # cd /usr/src/linux # make modules ...

I first noticed this when I tried to install vanilla-sources-2.6.16.1, and I've also tried to compile a vanilla 2.6.14 kernel from kernel.org with the same dissapearing modules trick, so I think this has something to do with a system utility having been updated and not working as expected.
