When installing external modules with `make modules_install', the first thing that happens is a rm -rf of the target directory. This works only once, and breaks when installing more than one (set of) external module(s). Bug introduced in: http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6/?cs=bbb3915836f5
Sam, is this fix okay with you?
