Modules Spaghetti

Hi,

I did a make world in the source distro and the modules that were
installed point back to symlinks of symlinks. I need to remove
the original files and install the module files in the right place.
Is there an easy way to do that? I was thinking of attempting it by
hand, but it looks very error prone to do so.

Also, is there a way to use the standard make menuconfig type of
tools to configure my kernel? We need some extra support. I'm familiar
with editing the .config by hand as well. Thanks,

-Phil Carinhas

Make menuconfig works just fine, you just have to make sure to set
ARCH=xen. I always need to enable automounter for my environment.

I see now the reference to "make xconfig" in the manual.
My oversight... What are the references to

build -> /home/joe/xen-2.0/linux-2.6.9-xen0
source -> /home/kyle/xen-2.0/linux-2.6.9-xen0

There for? Will any of that break the kernel if they are damaged?
Comparing to my standard 2.6 kernels, they don't look critical.
Thanks again!
