Ive had this problem for the last few 2.6 kernel releases. After emerging a kernel, I copy my old config over and then try and merge it before building a new kernel:
# cd /usr/src/linux # cp /boot/config-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 .config # make oldconfig Missing }. # ls -a ./ .config.old .tmp_vmlinux2* Makefilee fs/ patches.txt ../ .tmp_System.map .version Module.symvers include/ scripts/ ..tmp_kallsyms1.o.cmd .tmp_kallsyms1.S .vmlinux.cmd README init/ security/ ..tmp_kallsyms2.o.cmd .tmp_kallsyms1.o COPYING REPORTING-BUGS ipc/ sound/ ..tmp_vmlinux1.cmd .tmp_kallsyms2.S CREDITS System.map kernel/ usr/ ..tmp_vmlinux2.cmd .tmp_kallsyms2.o Documentation/ arch/ lib/ vmlinux* .config .tmp_versions/ MAINTAINERS crypto/ mm/ .config.cmd .tmp_vmlinux1* Makefile drivers/ net/ For one or two machines, Ive been able to "fix" this weirdness by just issuing a make and letting it build a kernel with default options. Today I couldn't do that with the 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 release, still can't run any configuration tools even after building a kernel as shown above. So what am I doing wrong? -- -- [email protected] mailing list
