 |
|
when i try to manually configure the kernel i got an error saying that usr/src/linux does not exist. however, when i cd to /usr/src and type "dir" i can clearly see linux and my kernel (linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6). whats causing this and how can i get gentoo to recognize a directory that is there?

check the output of
should look something like: | Code: | root@io ~ # ls -l /usr/src/
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 7 19:31 linux -> linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r7
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1312 Feb 15 07:40 linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r7 |
linux is usually a symlink to your current kernel.

now when i try to get it to display the symlink it says /usr/src/linux does not exist. this was not the case before. i followed the instructions in the handbook (where it says to change the symlink if it differs from the default) | Code: | rm /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r6 linux |
where did i go wrong? |

| i remerged gentoo-dev-sources and just skipped the aforementioned block of commands, works fine now. |

you could try:
| Code: |
cd /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/
