 |
|
When I try to upgrade from the 2.4.25 kernel to the 2.6 kernel, I have no problem with the | Code: | | emerge sys-kernel/development-sources |
but when I try to do either of the following commands | Code: | make menuconfig
make && make modules_install |
I receive the error
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop.
and I do not know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Zack

You have to be in the kernel src directory. Unless you useto build your kernel. In that case you need to make sure the symbolic link /usr/src/linux points to the right kernel version | Code: | | ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-gentoo-r1 /usr/src/linux |

Thanks, I'll keep all of that in mind the next time I update the kernel.
