You are building on a system whose modutils generates new-style relative paths. The modutils in the buildroot/busybox we are using does not understand these. You can fix this by 1) building with an older modutils (the one in lenny is old enough), 2) move to the newer buildroot (Makefile.inc has support commented out - it's very new but seems to basically work) 3) make the paths in the depmod file absolute 4) change the buildroot build to have depmod installed in the image and run depmod -a on boot > Would modprobing work properly if these were full path names? Yes. We plan to do 2) as soon as tests show nothing important breaks. Patches for 3 or 4 would also be gratefully accepted.
