It works, until somebody does this make -j 4 modules modules_install There is not, and never has been, any interlock between make modules and make modules_install. If you let modules_install run in parallel then people will be tempted to issue the incorrect command above instead of the required separate commands. make -j 4 modules make -j 4 modules_install You gain a few seconds on module_install but leave more room for user error. All of this is cleaned up in the 2.5 kbuild system (work in progress). I have carefully coded the 2.5 kbuild system so it can be used on 2.4 kernels as well. If you don't mind being an earlier adopter, this will be fixed in a few weeks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
