 Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2002 2:55 am Post subject: My kernel xconfig is gone.... |
 |
|
Hi. I hope this is the appropriate forum for this topic....
I went to re-compile my kernel today to add some support for lm_sensors and did the standard make xconfig in my /usr/src/linux/ directory and this is what I got...
bash-2.05b# make xconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'. Stop.
So I tried make menuconfig and got the same error.
I have compiled kernels on this machine before and everything has been fine up to this point. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what happened and what I should do to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hard to say without looking for missing files.
Why don't you do the following:
1. cp /usr/src/linux/.config ~
2. ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10 install
3. cp ~/.config /usr/src/linux
4. cd /usr/src/linux
5. make xconfig
This should unpack the source tar ball again if you have the file in /usr/portage/distfiles, if not, it'll download it first.
The copy steps just make a copy of your current configuration and copies it back afterwrads. This will save you from reconfiguring everything.

I did what you suggested and then did
ln -s linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r10 linux
Now everything is working fine again. Now I need to add my patches and I will be happy again. Thank you Erik.

Hi. I am back. Now that I can compile a kernel again I am getting a bunch of depmod errors... For example....
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/misc/adm1021.o
All of them are in the /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/misc directory. I have never had these before. Did I do something wrong?
