Valavien Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi all, I am trying to install the 2.6 kernel from source on freshly installed 9.2 machine. I have been trying to use the commands in the faq but can't seem to get anything to happen. I did the rpm stuff which I believe put the files into an rpm directory but when I do make mrproper I get an error, which step am I missing?? This is what I get: linux-2.6.3/ linux-mdkconfig.h README.Mandrake linux-2.6.3-q7.tar.bz2 linux-merge-config.awk linux-2.6.3.tar.bz2 README.kernel-sources [root@localhost SOURCES]# make mrproper make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop. [root@localhost SOURCES]# [root@localhost SOURCES]# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 (edited) If you install the rpm, the source is in /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-4mdk/ cd to that directory and make mrproper. It seems you are in the wrong directory. copy your /boot/config-2.4.22 to the source directory as .config Then "make xconfig" and make the tweaks to your configuration. EDIT: okay, I examined your post more and I see that you are installing a vanilla kernel, right? why not use a pre-compiled 2.6 mandrake kernel?

Valavien Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 (edited) I wanted to see if I could do it for i686 and choose exactly what hardware I was using - not that I really know what I am doing but since it is a fresh install I figured it wouldn't hurt to try! Edit: Well maybe it would help if I had a decent set of urpmi addresses and had certain packages installed duh, what an idiot!

bvc Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop.you are missing devel pkgs. The easiest way to get all the rt ones would be to install the mdk kernel-source .rpm and let rpm handle the dependencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
