linux 2.6.0 kernel install


Recommended Posts

:oops:

While I was compiling the kernel, i lost power for a few seconds (it seems to be getting more common in my particular area) and now im down 550MB with no idea where those files went...

 

how can i get that space back so i can start compiling again??

i dont think that its in the folder i originally had the kernel in (i.e the one the tar file extracted too)

yes, delete the kernel (linux<version>) folder in /usr/src/ and start over with a new one. Mine is;

[root@ml root]# ls /usr/src

linux@ linux-2.6.0/ RPM/

 

also look in these dir's. Do not delete the dir's, just what's in them!

[root@ml root]# ls /usr/src/RPM

BUILD/ RPMS/ SOURCES/ SPECS/ SRPMS/

[root@ml root]#

 

That should get you your space back. If not, let us know.
