Subject: Re: 2.6.37-rc3-git installed modules zero bytes long

This problem has showed up again in 2.6.38-rc6-git5 and openSUSE 11.4 
RC1. The previous kernel 2.6.38-rc6-git2 was OK.
The modules are OK before a reboot, after a reboot all modules are zero 
bytes long. I'm building 2.6.38-rc6-git6 to see if that suffers the same 
problem, e.g.
# ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.38-rc6-git5/kernel/drivers/net|less
