| The installation command will "fail" because it will attempt to use your buildhost's 'depmod' utility to construct a modules.dep file. However, the modules themselves will be installed into /tftpboot/lib/modules/2.4.21-pre4/. Also, do not be surprised that the default .config builds several inappropriate wireless drivers (orinoco, hermes): these can't be used by the dsmg600 (unless you happen to have a miniPCI card supported by those drivers, and swap out the shipped Ralink RT2560). | The installation command will "fail" because it will attempt to use your buildhost's 'depmod' utility to construct a modules.dep file.
