Posted: Thu May 18, 2006 11:06 pm Post subject: make modules-install error |
|
|
I am new to Gentoo and Linux in general. I have installed the Base CD and Stage 3 tarball without fault up to the following point in the handbook.
Code: |
Code Listing 14: Compiling the kernel
(For 2.6 kernel)
# make && make modules_install
|
However, I have just made a typo as its getting late.
I mistakingly typed
# make && make modules-install
instead of
# make && make modules_install
(dash instead of underscore).
An error was generated after some time compiling
make: *** No rule to make target 'modules-install'. Stop
I tried the correct command again with the underscore and the system stopped with
if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ] : then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.16-gentoo-r7; fi
Having spend all evening to get this far I really don't want to trash the install.
Can anyone please advise how to rescue the situation please |

Hi and welcome to the forums.
After getting the error, you just needed to do make modules_install. You see, the && tells bash to execute the second command only if the first succeeds.
That last message is to be expected. That means that you've finished installing the modules. All you have to do now is to copy your kernel into /boot and to configure your boot loader.
If you have any questions about that, just post them. _________________ Jorge.

Thanks very much for the quick response.
My main reason for choosing Gentoo was that I have been told what a great support community the forums are.
Your response to my first post fully supports what i've been told.
Thanks very much, I am looking forwards to this new OS. |
