A commit from previous versions of WRLinux has been dropped and may be added back in an upcoming RCPL: commit a367ee3cbb4340934a66b46b435f3dcfeb2a6e3a Author: Yue Tao <Yue.Tao@windriver.com> Date: Wed Nov 27 16:33:44 2013 +0800 Add the output of depmod into kernel module .tgz file CQID: WIND00432340 do_rootfs() runs depmod on the final rootfs, so the depmod files are in the rootfs image. But the kernel module .tgz doesn't have the files. If you un-tar the new version of the kernel module .tgz on the board, it will need to re-run depmod. The avoid this we are running depmod in kernel_do_deploy() before generating the kernel .tgz. (LOCAL REV: NOT UPSTREAM) -- Sent to oe-core on 20141118
