 Posted: Thu May 28, 2009 2:15 am Post subject: Kernel makefile dissappeared {Solved} |
 |
|
Hi all.
A recent compile of ati-drivers failed with
| Quote: | Could not find a Makefile in the kernel source directory.
Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a complete set of Linux sources |
I havnt changed anything with my kernel since I originally set it up but sure enough the makefile is missing:
| Quote: | localhost linux # ls
Module.markers System.map block drivers fs init kernel mm net security usr vmlinux.o
Module.symvers arch crypto firmware include ipc lib modules.order scripts sound vmlinux |
Ive emerged gentoo-sources again but It doesnt give me a makefile.
I also downloaded the kernel 2.26 from kernel.org but I would prefer to keep gentoo-sources.
Any Ideas
edit: I also tried the --fetchonly option with the intention of compiling myself but there was no gentoo-sources in /usr/portage/distfiles afterwards

seems to like to remove kernel makefiles.
| Quote: | | /usr/portage/distfiles |
does not exist here, but
| Quote: | | /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources |
does and contains numerous ebuilds including 2.6.26-gentoo-r4.
run | Code: |
eselect kernel list # emerge gentoolkit if you get command not found
ls -l /usr/src |
and post the results here.
| Code: | | emerge gentoo-sources |
should have produced something resembling
| Quote: | | drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 1736 May 23 17:32 linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 |
as the directory containing the current stable kernel source.
as you were interested in kernel 2.26, I would venture to guess that you have a symbolic link in /usr/src that looks something like
| Quote: | | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 24 17:25 linux -> linux-2.6.26-gentoo-{something} |
If you want to replace the makefile in the old 2.6.26 kernel you need to emerge a "package atom" as in:
| Code: | | emerge =syskernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-{something} # substitute appropriate value for {something} |
else you can select the current kernel source
| Code: | | eselect kernel set linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 |
and reconfigure, recompile, and install an up to date kernel |

Sorry It was late, and I downloaded the wrong tarball from kernel.org last night.
It wasnt supposed to be 2.26 as I mentioned My current installed version is 2.6.29-r5.
Also I did use --depclean recently, Anyway:
| Code: | ls -l /usr/src
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 7 00:20 linux -> linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 May 28 04:10 linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 May 28 04:43 linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r5 |
| Code: | mark@localhost / $ eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r3 *
[2] linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r5 |
Running
| Code: | | eselect kernel set linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r5 |
and recompiling gentoo-sources worked perfectly.Thanks for your help |
