 Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 11:41 am Post subject: kernel installation question [solved] |
 |
|
i'm installing gentoo 2005.0 with quick install guide.
now i'm in this step:
| Code: |
(install the kernel source) # emerge <kernel-package-here>
|
what i have to write instead of <kernel-package-here> ?
i tried to write emerge kernel, emerge kernel-2.4, emerge kernel-2.6 but none of these worked.

Maye you'd better peruse the handbook rather than trying to get by with the quick install guide. |

i did so:
| Code: |
emerge gentoo-sources
|
then i saw list of available kernels. then typed:
| Code: |
genkernel --udev all
|
and now i see a message:
| Code: |
GREP /usr/src/linux/Makefile: No such file or directory
GREP /usr/src/linux/Makefile: No such file or directory
GREP /usr/src/linux/Makefile: No such file or directory
GREP /usr/src/linux/Makefile: No such file or directory
error: no kernel .config file specified or file not found

you forgot to create the link /usr/src/linux that should point to the directory that contains the sources.
ln -sf /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-r6 (2.6.11-r6 could be different on your system, look up the name of that directory with ls -l /usr/src/linux)
