error msg while compiling kernel 'grubby fatal error no suitable templates found'
 

i am trying to compile the latest kernel 2.6.35.1 on my fedora12. I have done
make menuconfig (dont make any changes.just save the .config file)
make
make modules-install
upto this all went fine.but when i tried make install i got an error message saying 'grubby fatal error no suitable templates found'
Does anybody know what is the problem??

Do you have all of the build dependencies? For the Arch kernel26 package, 'xmlto' and 'docbook-xsl' are build dependencies. The template thing seems to match up with those xml/xsl packages... Here's the Arch PKGBUILD: http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/pack...86_64/PKGBUILD

It's pretty easy to follow. You can more or less emulate what it does on your own if you need to =)

I think the gist of your problem is that you probably don't want to run make on it's own. You should be more specific. Take a look at how Arch builds specific parts of the kernel separately (kernel image, modules, **documentation**, headers, ...)

PS - If you're building the kernel for yourself, you might at least want to set the processor type. (In the kernel config and CFLAGS)
