What's the point of running depmod at the end of modules_install? The System.map doesn't contain any versioned symbols so it just bitches about everything as being undefined. (depmod needs a "-i" to temporarily ignore versioning and it still bitches) And looking at the System.map is a bad way to judge missing symbols -- unless depmod knows to look for the exported tags.
And what's up with the explosion of directories? People bitch because things aren't being divided up -- everything pilling up in misc. Other's bitch in favor of a flat directory. And the answer is this?!? I'm all for organization and the removal of the intermidary "symlink farm", but this is INSANE. (did I miss a memo or something?)
Hmm, /lib/modules/<version>/kernel/fs/*... only ONE directory has more than one file in it and it (nls) _isn't_ a file system.
