compile android: depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!

Hi,

i am currently trying to compile/install the kernel 4.4.0-rc1. I use the Arch Kernel config from "/proc/config.gz".

"make" works fine, "make modules_install" produces the following error:

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: lnet -> libcfs -> lnet

Some information:

Device: Lenovo Yoga 900-13

CPU: i7-6500U

Architecture: x86_64

I made some code manipulations according to this thread to make my hardware work: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=204355

But I think they are not related to the issue.

Does somebody have an idea how to solve this problem?

Regards

Richard

Hi There,

I ran into this problem today as well. It looks like this is a problem with the Lusture networking modules (LNET), as described here http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/l … ?page=last. You can work around the problem by disabling the LUSTURE and LNET kernel modules in your .config file. I just did a simple grep for every module containing LUSTURE or LNET, switching actual modules from 'm' to 'n' and commenting out module options. After that I was able to execute `make modules install` just fine.
