[gobolinux-devel] Weird Linux recipe behavior

[Carlo Calica]

So I ChrootCompile Linux 2.6.24.4-r1.  Something weird happened.  In
Unmanaged/S/K/Modules/2.6.24.4-Gobo there aren't any modules.* files.
It also seems like depmod -a wasn't run.  I compared previous ver/revs
and I can't find anything to explain it.

This is actually a good thing.  I realized there is a problem with our
handling of external modules.  Basically since we're not running
depmod -a, they're not being found.

I created a work around adding a depmod -a in StartLiveCD and ProfileInstall.

Unfortunately, the kernel I created (without modules.*) isn't suitable
to put in official and livecd.  If someone (Lucas??) could build a
kernel (and madwifi, ndiswrapper modules), I need to sleep soon.

Also, the font is corrupted.  The GoboLinux in the boot theme looks horrible.

If we can't get this straightened out, I recommend we use the kernel
in 014.  BTW, I'm ChrootCompile works fine on my macbook.

Anyways.  its 8:30am, i'm passing out , I'm u/l the iso to
http://www.calica.com/gobolinux/iso/  mainly so you can see the font
issue.  You need to install it, it doesn't show just booting the CD.
