 |
|
While making crashed out. Last lines are:
mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r9/kernel/drivers/net
cp 3c501.o 3c503.o 3c505.o 3c509.o 3c515.o 8389.o dummy.o /lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r9/kernel/drivers/net
cp: cannot stat '3c501.o' : No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '3c503.o' : No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '3c505.o' : No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '3c509.o' : No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '3c515.o' : No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat '8390.o' : No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat 'dummy.o' : No such file or directory
make [2] *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make [2] Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r9/drivers/net'
make [1] *** [_modinst__] Error 2
make [1] Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r9/drivers'
make: *** [_modinst__] Error 2
livecd linux #
So First question that comes to mind is. I thought I was compiling the 2.6 kernel I must have chosen something wrong. The second thing is why did it crash?

Did you " make && make clean bzImage/install modules modules_install " . What trying to spit out is did you make modules first?

To explain a little further:
With a 2.4 kernel you need to do:
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
And with a 2.6 kernel you do:
make
make modules_install
So, it looks like you used the 2.6 procedure on your 2.4 kernel and that's why you get the error. The modules weren't build yet, so make modules_install can't find them.

Makes perfect sense. Can I go back and re emerge the correct kernel or am I hosed and have to start from the begining (ie bootstrap etc.)?

You don't even need to re-emerge the kernel.
A simple make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install should do the trick.

I just discovered that I emerge the "gentoo-sources" instead of the "gentoo-dev-sources" for the 2.6 kernel though don't I need to emerge that?

If you want a 2.6 kernel you'll have to emerge it.
If you're willing to stick with the 2.4 for now, you won't have to emerge anything right now.
If you do want the 2.6 kernel (it is an improvement over the 2.4 after all), emerge it and after emerging change the link /usr/src/linux so that it points to the new kernel source.

Cool. That is exactly what I started doing.  How do I get rid of the other kernel?

rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.4.26 (or whatever the 2.4 source dir is called)

Fantastic! Just so I can learn what do the switches do?

in this case: man rm

I will be certain to check that out. One last question how do I remove that from the "world favorites" file?

You can emerge -C kernel but it is a pain because you have to get the syntex just rigth or it will want to unmerge all your kernels. As nixnut, the heroic mountain climber  , said rm -r will do it just be very carefull of where you are and who you are when you do it as it will happily wipe your drive  . If you get frustrated with trying to figube out portages, its one big pain in the dinkass, then cd into /usr/src and then remove kernel-version
