Handled-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Handled-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> I'm seeing a related problem (again). Namely, I build kernels on one box, with 'make O=<target>', then I mount <target> on another one over NFS, cd to it and try to install the kernel modules with 'make modules_install'. This results in 'HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw' and 'fatal error: ...: Read-only file system'. Readily reproducible. Commenting out line 1130 of Makefile
("$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.fwinst obj=firmware __fw_modinst")
obviously helps.
David, could you fix Makefile.fwinst ASAP, please?
Handled-By: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Handled-By: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> OK, I know what happens in my case. The 'target' box has a different system than the server (OpenSUSE 11.0 vs OpenSUSE 10.3) and .ihex2fw.cmd generated on the server contains dependencies on files that are not present on the 'target' client. I can 'fix' the problem by manually removing the dependencies on GCC headers (there's a different version of GCC on the 'target' machine) and on the headers in /usr/include/asm-x86_64 from the target's .ihex2fw.cmd . Still, it would have been nice if those dependencies had not been there at all. ;-) On Saturday, 30 of August 2008, Larry Finger wrote:
