 |
|
Hello.
I'm having some trouble with the intel8x0 alsa drivers, and I figure I'd better remove every module/kernel option related to this, and start over... but when I run make clean from /usr/src/linux, I get:
| Code: | euph0r1c linux # make clean
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file '/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3/include/linux/version.h' for reading (No such file or directory)
|
I ls -la too see if the version.h file was there, and nope, it wasn't... not in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h either.
The first error I ever got concerning version.h was when I tried to configure vmware...
Before this, I'd recompiled the kernel a few times before, and I'd also run make clean some times... but now it doesn't seem to work, and I'm getting an error at boot-time, when it's trying to load the intel8x0 module (which I've removed every relation (I could find) to)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I managed to fix this only minutes after I posted 
Anyway, for the few of you who might encounter this very problem, what I did was
| Code: | | euph0r1c linux # cp /usr/include/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h && cp /usr/include/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3/include/linux/version.h |
Of course, remember to edit linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 to whatever kernel you're using... if you get some 'file not found' error, try using this command progessively:
| Code: | euph0r1c linux # find /*/version.h
euph0r1c linux # find /*/*/version.h
euph0r1c linux # find /*/*/*/version.h
etc... |
An alternative way to do this 'progressive find' would be greatly appreciated, as this is the only way I know to search for files |
