[gentoo-dev] modules.dep getting 0 bytes

["Erik Van Reeth" <erik@vanreeth.org>]

Hi,

I had a system with only kernel 2.4.4-ac9 in place, which boots perfectly.
I did a new kernel build via "ebuild
../sys-kernel/linux/linux-2.4.5.5.ebuild qmerge".
A new /lib/modules/2.4.5-ac5 directory was made. I added a new entry to
menu.lst to be able to boot the old kernel if the new one didn't worked.
Only all the *.dep files under /lib/modules/2.4.4-ac9 are being changed
with modules.dep being empty (0 bytes). So booting the older kernel gives
problems in loading
modules.
Also after booting kernel 2.4.5-ac5, the modules.* are automatic generated
but in the wrong
directory. They were created under 2.4.4-ac9 instead of 2.4.5-ac5.
Manually doing a depmod -a solved this behaviour.
Is there some reason for this behaviour or am i doing something wrong here ?
