Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: module-init-tools
Ubuntu 8.10
apt-cache policy module-init-tools
module-init-tools:
Installed: 3.3-pre11-4ubuntu16
Candidate: 3.3-pre11-4ubuntu16

I copied a driver out of /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.27/, created a trivial
makefile for it:
obj-m += modulename.o
then built and installed it:
make V=1 -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
sudo make V=1 -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules_install
sudo depmod
The module gets installed under /lib/modules/*/extra/.
On some systems, depmod sees the new extra/ driver, but on others, it sees
the old driver under kernel/. The difference is filesystem order within the
directory,
as exposed by `ls -1f`. The fix is to configure depmod to always search extra/
_before_ kernel/. Patch attached.
