Hi all, Attached is a patch which can be applied to trunk (and other branches as well, I think) which will provide instructions to run the Module Init Tools test suite and fix BZ #1597.
I read in the bug where Matt was concerned about providing two set of instructions, this patch provides instructions to run the test suite if you wish, otherwise skip that set of instructions and go straight to the build/installation. Bottom line is there is only 1 set of instructions, with an if paragraph to run the test suite, if desired. I also added touching the modprobe.conf.5 file, even though Tush doesn't mention this in the bug. Remove this if it is not required. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 12:36:00 up 124 days, 12:09, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.19
