I am following this tutorial atm

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_gentoo_2007.0

and I am getting this error when I type

genkernel all

Code:

~ # genkernel all
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.24_p1
* Running with options: all

* ERROR: Kernel Makefile (/usr/src/linux/Makefile) missing.  Maybe re-install the kernel sources.

* -- Grepping log... --


* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.24_p1
* Running with options: all

* ERROR: Kernel Makefile (/usr/src/linux/Makefile) missing.  Maybe re-install the kernel sources.

* -- 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!
*


I really new at Gentoo should I be concerned for the rest of my install ?

What is the output of
Code:
ls -l /usr/src


Check that /usr/src/linux is correct.

LiThiuME3, Welcome to Gentoo.

I glanced at that tutorial and it seems mostly okay, but beware: it's 5 years out of date. The network configuration file syntax has changed. I'd follow the Gentoo Handbook when I got to that part. I noticed one other issue early in the document (didn't read it all). Take away is, expect problems. Ask good questions and you'll get good help here, though.

jburns is asking the right questions to get you on track. ;)

- John

yup

Was this emerge successful? Maybe you are running out of disk space or inodes or there is some other problem.
