 |
|
whenever i try to emerge it gives me an error saying:
| Code: | Determining the location of the kernel source code
* Found kernel source directory:
* /usr/src/linux
* Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
* Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources.
* If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
* it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.

i didnt use make to make my config, i used the gentoo livecd installer. there is no .config.

See if the installer copied a config file to your boot partition. Look for a file with 'config' in its name. If you find it, copy that file to /usr/src/linux/.config and then do a 'make oldconfig' (just accept the defaults if prompted), and then 'make'. You don't have to install anything, but a lot of ebuilds will look for a configured and compiled kernel tree.

See if there is a config.gz entry in /proc. If so then "zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config". Then follow the steps in my previous post.
