A module can get displaced as easily as a plain text file, and the wrong "configutarion module" version won't do any good in any case.
Just teach /sbin/installkernel (or arch/i386/install.sh) to stash it away somewhere. You'll need to fix arch/i386/Makefile to pass the name of .config to the script (note that it now takes 3 or 4 arguments, to get backwards compatibility when taking 3, 4 or 5 will be tricky, unless you play games with the name of the files passed into it to figure out where .config lives). Or call a new script if it is there and only give that one .config plus the standard stuff. -- Horst von Brand http://counter.li.org # 22616 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
