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 use
Code:
genkernel all
to 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.
