I had this problem too and thought I would post a solution. This is
significant, since the "make modules_install" step fails in the kernel build
process (see:
ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/sources/ts-7260_kernel_compile_guide.txt),
and you need to run depmod after copying your modules over to a new image.
Petr is right, you do need to build your own modutils, since "apt-get install
modutils" will simply report that you have the latest version. Here is what I
did:
[1] Download
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/modutils-2.4.27.tar.bz2
and extract it.
[2] In order to build it you will need to install a few other packages:
"apt-get install bison flex-old" (the latest flex will cause the build of
modutils to bomb)
[3] You also need to install diffutils, but if you try an apt-get install, it
won't be able to find diffutils. So, download
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-3.0.tar.gz and extract it.
[4] Within the diffutils extracted directory, do "./configure" then "make" then
"make install"
[5] Within the modutils extracted directory, do "./configure" then "make", then
"make install"
[6] Now you can run depmod, but for me most of the modules were not owned by
root after copying them over to partition 3 of the SD card from my PC, so from
within /lib/modules/2.6.26-ts11 type "chown -R root:root ./"
[7] Now run "depmod -aev" to generate the dependency lists
