| Do you still have the Makefile inside your directory? |

yes, i still have Makefile.
| Code: | localhost src # pwd
/usr/src
localhost src # ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 11 11:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Mar 6 10:22 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 19 2007 .keep
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 19 18:32 alsa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 11 11:08 linux -> linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r4
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Apr 9 06:18 linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r9
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Apr 9 06:12 linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r4
localhost src # |
I don't know that helps though because I just did a USE="symlink" emerge -v gentoo-sources.
It didn't fix the problem but that what it looked like before.
Before hand I tried to install virtualbox and I got this error:
| Code: | "localhost src # cat /./var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/temp/build.log

dman777,
So far so good. What does | Code: | | ls -al /usr/src/linux |
show?
The error message may be misleading. Your | Code: | | USE="symlink" emerge -v gentoo-sources |
will have put a clean unconfigured kernel into /usr/src/linux and virtualbox-modules will be looking for the .config file to pick up some option settings like SMP, 4KSTACKS which it will use for itself and to generate the version magic.
You need to remake your kernel as if your new .config file does not match the running kernel, virtualbox-modules will not load.

ya, but at this point i just wanna get my make menuconfig working because i'm scared to death i will have to rebuild my system from scratch. I'm really getting scared.
I did the virtualbox before i emerged the gentoo-sources. These are the steps I took before this happened:
1)unemerge awn and xfce4.
2)updated system deep.
cleaned out dependencies
3)installed virtualbox unsuccessfully.
4)couldn't do a make menuconfig
5)emerge gentoo-sources -no luck
6)revdep-rebuild- no success
