Hi,

After some re-compilations of my gentoo kernel suddenly my MAKE MENUCONFIG gives the following error: --> make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop.

I am logged in as root. I am in directory /usr/src/linux while I give make command.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thx Ezzy

Maybe your "Makefile" got fubar'd. Have you tried re-extracting the kernel source files from the appropriate .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file?

Sorry, you mean that the makeconfig is damaged? I used "emerge gentto-sources" to install a kernel.

You said Extracting: how can I do that? What to next than?

Thx in advance

Not necessarily "makeconfig", but the actual file "Makefile". "Menuconfig" is simply one of the options that is supported by the Makefile. Just like "make" and "make modules_install". Menuconfig and modules_install are called targets. The targets that are supported by a program are usually inside the "Makefile" (this is a physical file, by the way). If that file somehow got corrupted, then those targets may no longer be available.

Can you try re-emerging gentoo-sources? What I was referring to when I suggested re-extracting was going to www.kernel.org, downloading the particular kernel version you wanted (which comes as a .tar.gz or a .tar.bz2 file), and then using 'tar' to extract the sources. I'm using Slackware and this is how I download and extract a new kernel since "emerge" isn't available to me.
