Would you mind taking a look at the makefile in the directory that you passed to "with-linux" to see how it chooses where to install and run depmod? On mine it does: KERNELRELEASE = $(shell cat include/config/kernel.release 2> /dev/null) DEPMOD $(KERNELRELEASE) X-CudaMail-Whitelist-To: dev@openvswitch.org _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
