Re: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc - shouldn't this be a directory?

Hey,

I can't seem to install the standalone imon_vfd drivers from http:// venky.ws:

# make install
depmod
/usr/bin/install imon_vfd.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc

Following that:
# modprobe imon_vfd
FATAL: Module imon_vfd not found.

By my logic, shouldn't the install process have effectively copied the imon_vfd driver to a directory called misc within my running kernel?

Correct.


Here's what stat says:

It's an executable file! Is that right??

No.

The driver makefile is broken. It assumes that the misc subdirectory already exists.
