have you ran make oldconfig?

[padoor]

i copied .config and run make xconfig and add the config_tmpfs and saved.
i have not run make oldconfig
does it make a difference?
i will try it anyways

Try this aswell

Code: Select all

make help

[padoor]

i tried make oldconfig make help
no help for nfs
same error is popping up.

save your .config, run
# make mrproper
in kernel dir, copy .config back and run
# make
afterwards

[padoor]

i did remove and re merge gentoo-sources-3.3.0
also run make mrproper
then copied .config from old kernel.
now it compiled ok and boots up fine.
as mrproper removes all defaults of the kernel i wonder what i am missing from the new kernel
enhancements.
anyway it works same as my previous kernel-3.2.11-gentoo
thanks for all supports

We've just failed miserably at teaching you anything. The proper way to upgrade is shown in "make help".
That way you'd only be asked for new/moved items while reconfiguring.

I'm not very active here. I know. But if you have read post #4, and really "read" the help from the kernel's makefile, you should have learnt what's oldconfig, which is the only right way to upgrade using your current .config while being asked about differences.

Or you can bypass this and use genkernel, of course.
Sorry. I'm not being rude on purpose. I'm just a bad teacher
