>Description:
emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod/Makefile sets KMODDIR to /boot/modules if not set:
root at nucleus:/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod # grep ^KMODDIR Makefile
KMODDIR?= /boot/modules
However, KMODDIR is always set, even if not explicitly set by the user:
root at nucleus:/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod # make -V KMODDIR
/boot/kernel
root at nucleus:/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod # make -C ../qemu -V KMODDIR
/boot/kernel
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The attached patch sets KMODDIR=/boot/modules instead of attempting to set to /boot/modules if not set, otherwise users will experience pain when vbox*.ko disappear after a kernel upgrade.
