 |
|
i'm trying to follow this howto, but i can't get menuconfig to work so i can configure the kernel.
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 26 20:18 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1
bash-2.05b# uname -r
2.6.5-gentoo-r1
bash-2.05b# cd /usr/src/linux
bash-2.05b# make menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop.
|
i googled the error message but couldn't find solution. i used genkernel to install originally, in case that matters. |

Well I would suggest to make sure that you have the /usr/src/linux linked to the proper source folder.
*I have seen a few posts on this issue so there maybe a problem here...

Looks like the link might be setup right. Could you post the results of a ls in these two directories:
| Code: |
# ls -l /usr/src
# ls /usr/src/linux

For the hell of it try to change your link to linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r3
| Code: | rm /usr/src/linux
ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r3 /usr/src/linux |
then
and post the output of

The result of ls /usr/src/linux looks like the kernel you're trying to configure was unmerged, there are only the remains of compilation in there, but not the source and not the Makefile, so make fails.
If you really want to compile kernel 2.6.5, you'll need to remerge it. Otherwise go to /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r6 and make menuconfig et al. there. After that change the symlink to point to that directory.
You can also remove the remains of 2.6.5-r1, then. |
