How can i save my new kernel configuration

ggeo · 09-15-2007, 11:56 AM

Hello

I use fedora 7,KDE
I just modified my kernel (with make menuconfig).

I saved it and at console i wrote :

Quote:

make all modules_install install

and it gave me :

Quote:

HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

What i am supposed to do?What command should i use?

Thanks!

Hello,

I saw that this thread has another way.I want to see if i can do sth with the way i chose and if i can't i will try that.

The problem is that when i do make it gives me:

Quote:

CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

If someone knows what to do..

Thanks

Everytime I read about kernel compiling with a 2.6.x kernel the steps are

Code:

make
make modules_install
make install

I don't know if your line gives a problem, but you could try if it makes any difference.

Hello

I am doing exactly this thing but at make it gives me what i wrote before.

At make modules_install it gives :

Quote:

if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.22.5-76.fc7; fi

and at make install :

Quote:

h /usr/src/kernels/2.6.22.5-76.fc7-x86_64/arch/x86_64/boot/install.sh 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
sh: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.22.5-76.fc7-x86_64/arch/x86_64/boot/install.sh: Δεν υπάρχει τέτοιο αρχείο ή κατάλογος
make[1]: *** [install] Error 127

Hello

I followed your link to

Quote:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel

and i stuck in the command

Quote:

rpmbuild -bp --target='x86_64' kernel-2.6.spec

It gives me the prompt :

Quote:

-sh-3.2$

If i write it like:

Quote:

rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec

(without the ' ' )
it gives :

Quote:

Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: Failed build dependencies:
sparse >= 0.3 is needed by kernel-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.x86_64

It supposes to build the
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version>/linux-<version>.<arch> directory

Thanks

Sorry, but I'm no fedora expert - I'm not at all familiar with that rmpbuild stuff

I hope someone else can jump in and help you with this issue!

I *think* the yum-builddep step is supposed to deal with issues like the above, but this is a clear indication of a missing package. 'yum install sparse' as root took care of it for me.. -dan
