Code:
paul@lubuntu-64:~$ wc -l /lib/modules/3.12.0-rc5-custom/modules.order
77 /lib/modules/3.12.0-rc5-custom/modules.order
paul@lubuntu-64:~$
or:
Code:
paul@lubuntu-64:~$ locate *.ko | grep 3.12.0-rc5 | wc -l
77
paul@lubuntu-64:~$
nice one! i tried that command first with the custom-kernel i just compiled:
Code:
fooman@fooman-GA-990FXA-UD5:~$ wc -l /lib/modules/3.12.0-rc5-custom2/modules.order
115 /lib/modules/3.12.0-rc5-custom2/modules.order
then i ran it against the rc4 from the mainline kernel release:
Code:
fooman@fooman-GA-990FXA-UD5:~$ wc -l /lib/modules/3.12.0-031200rc4-generic/modules.order
3817 /lib/modules/3.12.0-031200rc4-generic/modules.order
and also the 3.11 kernel:
Code:
fooman@fooman-GA-990FXA-UD5:~$ wc -l /lib/modules/3.11.1-031101-generic/modules.order
3900 /lib/modules/3.11.1-031101-generic/modules.order
wow, that is a huge difference!
