kernel 2.6.30rc7 make and compile errors on debian squeeze
 
I'm running on a P3 500MHz 380MB RAM. I have compiled one kernel(2.6.30-rc5) sucesfully before on a different computer(P4 2.66GHz 512MB RAM) using this guide that time and this time. I know it is for ubuntu but it worked the first time. I've used a couple debian specific ones but they had similar errors. Am i making a noob mistake? below is the terminal output.
The "make-kpkg clean" command returns this


"debian:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg clean
exec make kpkg_version=12.014 -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk clean

and then the compiling of the kernel too much to list unless it is important.

Since make-kpkg can't find "debian/changelog" or "debian/control", did you forget the link to linux-2.6.30-rc7.

I did this. Is that what i was supposed to do?
"rm -rf linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.30-rc7 linux"

Yes, but "ln" does not report an error if the target directory does not exist.

Please post the output of the following:
Code:

/usr/src# ls -l
to see if the link is broken and
Code:

/usr/src/linux# ls -l
to see if your kernel source is in that location. Other than that, I got nothing!

I don't see anything wrong. Maybe there was a problem unzipping the source file. You might try deleting the directory and the link and then unzipping the compressed source file again:

First copy your .config file out of the directory that you are going to delete:
Code:

/usr/src# cp /linux/.config .
delete the directory and the link:
Code:

/usr/src# rm linux-2.6.30-rc7
/usr/src# rm linux

unzip the compressed source file, recreate the link and copy the .config file back:
Code:

/usr/src# tar -xvjf linux-2.6.30-rc7.tar.bz2
/usr/src# ln -s linux-2.6.30-rc7 linux
/usr/src# mv .config linux/

and then run:
Code:

/usr/src# make-kpkg clean
Looks like you already have a kernel image: "linux-image-2.6.30-rc7_p3-500mhz_i386.deb" Are you recompiling?

dougallinux 05-28-2009 05:08 PM

The "linux-image-2.6.30-rc7_p3-500mhz_i386.deb" compiled over night but initrd was missing. I took a "-" off the compile command and it is going right now(closing in on 6 hrs).
if the currently compiling kernel does not work i will try what you suggested.

Thanks for the help.
