Kernel Modules not built

[hausi]

Hi, since a few days I get the following message when building a new kernel:

Building modules, stage 2
MODPOST 0 modules
DEPMOD 2.6.24.3

the kernel is built properly but there are no modules built and /lib/modules/2.6.26 contains the following:

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-08-09 22:08 build -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.26/
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2008-08-09 22:08 kernel/

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-08-09 22:08 source -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.26/

kernel/ is empty but modules.order lists the modules I have chosen in menuconfig

I tried with 2.6.26 and 2.6.26.2

HELP, what happened?

Re: Kernel Modules not built

Perhaps a stupid question, but have you installed the source code of the kernel? (kernel-source)

Re: Kernel Modules not built

i use the kernelsource from kernel.org. funny thing is when go ctrl+alt+1 to a vt the modules build :-(

Re: Kernel Modules not built

Ubuntu modifies the kernel, so it can be that this is the problem.

Remove the source kernel from kernel.org, and then install the kernel-source which is in the kubuntu repository.

If you don't have gcc, make etc on your computer, do
sudo apt-get install build-essential
