 Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 2:06 pm Post subject: Kernel source directory not found (SOLVED) |
 |
|
Im trying to | Quote: | genkernel --menuconfig all
|
and this is what I get:
| Code: | * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.8
* Running with options: all
* ERROR: kernel source directory "/usr/src/linux" was not found!
* -- Grepping log... --
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.8
* Running with options: all
* ERROR: kernel source directory "/usr/src/linux" was not found!
* -- End log... --
* Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any
* errors that were reported above.
* Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and
* assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org. Please include
* as much information as you can in your bug report; attaching
* /var/log/genkernel.log so that your issue can be dealt with effectively.
*
* Please do *not* report compilation failures as genkernel bugs! |
*
So I tried upgrading the kernel and I still get the same problems.
Any suggestions?

Is there a symlink /usr/src/linux to one of the real /usr/src/ kernel source directories?
If not, make one yourself. |

Yes I have a symlink. Here is what I have:
| Code: | #ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 2 10:18 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.22-r8 |

Does /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.22-r8 exist? There is no sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.22-r8; the closest one to that is sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8, which would result in a target for the symlink of /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8.

Here is what I have:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
bash: cd: /usr/src/linux: No such file or directory
|
But: | Code: | ls /usr/src
linux linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9
|
And: | Code: | ls /usr/src/linux
/usr/src/linux
|
But the output is blinking for some reason.

| The blinking is an indication that ls considers the symlink to be broken. In this case, the link is dangling. According to your output, you have linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 and linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9 as available kernel source directories. However, your symlink points to linux-2.6.22-r8. Notice that the kernel directories have a gentoo- that your symlink does not. To fix it, remove the symlink named linux and recreate it, this time pointing it to a directory that exists. You can use the shell's tab completion feature to ensure that you do not misspell the name. |

You can use app-admin/eselect to modify the symlink (#emerge eselect).
The command eselect kernel list outputs the different kernel sources on your system and shows which one is currently selected by the symlink:
| Code: | Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 *
[2] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9 |
Then you can select the one to which the symlink has to point to: "eselect kernel set 1" or "eselect kernel set 2"

Ok so I checked my kernel version:
| Code: | # eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8
[2] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9 |
And I selected the one i use:
| Code: | | src # eselect kernel set linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 |
Then I checked to make sure it worked:
| Code: | # eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8*
[2] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r9 |
Then I created the new link:
| Code: | | src # ln -sfn linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 |
Then I tried to:
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
And this is what I get which is the same as before:
| Code: | src # genkernel --menuconfig all
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.8
* Running with options: --menuconfig all
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
/usr/share/genkernel/gen_determineargs.sh: line 35: [: : integer expression expected

* ERROR: Error: No kernel .config specified, or file not found!
* -- Grepping log... --

* /var/log/genkernel.log so that your issue can be dealt with effectively.
*
* Please do *not* report compilation failures as genkernel bugs!
*

So I decided to check my symlink and its correct:
| Code: | src # ls -l /usr/src/linux
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 6 12:45 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 |
And the output of this wasnt blinking anymore:
| Code: | src # ls /usr/src/linux
Module.symvers block fs ipc mm security vmlinux
System.map crypto include kernel net sound
arch drivers init lib scripts usr |
So again if anyone can help it would be great.

lokoalex,
Your kernel (2.6.22-gentoo-r8 ) apparently is not complete or otherwise damaged I think.
Try re-emergeing that kernel.
To make live easier you might want to install "mc".
and check if you agree with the dependencies it might want to install.
mc is a great console browser.It would have shown your dangling symlink in red.
Gerard.

How can I re-emerge 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 if they are up to 2.6.22-gentoo-r9?

| Code: |
emerge =gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8 |
Read man emerge man ebuild etc.

i had the same issue as ERROR: kernel source directory "/usr/src/linux" was not found!
yet what i have found was that i had just missed the step where we select the kernel and when i put command below and try "genkernell all" again, it worked like a charm.
eselect set kernel 1
(in my case it is 1, in your case it might be sth else, check via "eselect kernel list"
| Code: | root #eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-5.15.52-gentoo |
