kernel compile error: [ksyms.o] Error 1

dol-sen

I am doing a fresh install & screwed up my first kernel. I forgot to enable devfs, so when I rebooted it failed & complained. When I rebooted the 1.4_rc2 livecd, chrooted in, made the change, tried to recompile --- all I get is this same error. I have tried removing devfs again, tried removing/enabling a few others --- same error. One time the computer locked up after the error, forcing me to power off, restart & fix /boot partition.

Well, I've downloaded the athlon-xp-stage3 tarball to my otherwise empty home directory. I am going to try unpacking it, stealing the kernel and it's modules. If that works, then I can build my own again. I hope!

I won't be able to try till later tonight, I have a family due to attend

Any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brian

Well, that was a waste of time & download, there is no kernel in a stage3.

My brain finally kicked in. I unmergered gentoo-sources, re-emerged it checked the configuration, and,

, it's compiling as I type this.

that's what I get for staying up late last night installing gentoo on my new computer!
