Hi,

I'm running debian jessie with kernel Linux 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.15-2~bpo8+2 (2017-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux (and came with omv).

So I downloaded the current vanilla kernel ( 4.10.1 ) and executed steps below which result in a:

install: cannot stat ‘REPORTING-BUGS’: No such file or directory
debian/ruleset/targets/headers.mk:40: recipe for target 'debian/stamp/install/linux-headers-4.10.1-custom' failed
make[1]: *** [debian/stamp/install/linux-headers-4.10.1-custom] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-4.10.1'
debian/ruleset/local.mk:102: recipe for target 'kernel_headers' failed
make: *** [kernel_headers] Error 2


Anyone a hint please?
thanks in advance.


sudo su -

cd /usr/src
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...-4.10.1.tar.xz
tar -xvJf linux-4.10*
ln -s linux-4.10.1 linux
rm *.xz
cd /usr/src/linux

export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=5;
#4cores+1

make mrproper
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
make menuconfig
#save .config

make-kpkg clean
cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs /etc/kernel/postinst.d/
cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs /etc/kernel/postrm.d/

make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers

solution here though quite interesting I did not face this issue before using " make-kpkg ". Now instead to let things build properly I exectuted :


cd /usr/src/linux
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...-4.10.1.tar.xz
tar -xvJf linux-4.10* && rm *.xz
cd linux-4.10*

cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig #load config

fakeroot make -j5 deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-mytest KDEB_PKGVERSION=1

cd ..

dpkg -i linux-image-4.10*
dpkg -i linux-headers-4.10*
grub-mkconfig

#and reboot
