[linux-dvb] Why a new custom folder gets created during "make modules_install"

[Muthu Kumaran R <rmktech2003@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

  I had compiled the linux kernel version 2.4.18-14,
before that  ihad taken the backup of the existing
kernel.Also after that to build the loadable modules i
had backed up the modules folder from
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14 to /lib/modules/2.4.18-14-old
and done "make modules"

 While doing the "make modules_install" a new folder
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14custom gets created.

 Is the way it normally happens, because in the README
of /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14 they had told you should
take a back of modules folder before doing the "make
modules", but why this /lib/modules/2.4.18-14custom
gets created.

 The kernel is a part of RedHat Linux8.0, can anyone
clarify my doubt?

 Sorry for this long mail :-)

Thanks
Muthu.




Thanks,
Muthu.
