When a package installs a kernel module, it is currently not possible to
have it loaded with modprobe or when the kernel requests an alias for
it, as the module is not listed in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/modules.dep
and the associated files.
So, we need to run depmod after all packages are installed, to register
any such out-of-tree module.
This means we should be able to let go of calling depmod at the time the
kernel is installed, but if we pass an invalid command, the kernel
whines:
DEPMOD 5.4.27
./scripts/depmod.sh: 46: /dev/null: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1326: _modinst_post] Error 126
This is because the kernel does not directly call to depmod, but uses a
wrapper that is not happy if depmod is not depmod.
Since the call to depmod does not cost much, we just keep it.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
