Problem with Kernel Installation...

darkarcon2015 · 01-03-2005, 06:02 PM

Note: I have followed the tutorials that are stickied at the top of this forum.

I went to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.26 to 2.6.10 and I followed the steps in the above tutorials but when I go to "make" it I get a bunch of stuff like this:

Code:

make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10
...
make[580]: *** [all]Interrupt
...
make[1] *** [all]Interrupt
make: *** [all] Interrupt

Once it reaches [1] it just stops. I'm not sure what is causing this, any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Also, when I make any type of kernel configuration program (oldconfig, menuconfig, xconfig) when it gets to a certain point, all of a sudden a program that I makde myself in C++ (compiled with g++) starts itself. When I exit that program the configurator continues as normal. Would this strange problem having anything to do with this?

Just curious, what is the name of your program ?

darkarcon2015 · 01-03-2005, 06:58 PM

"FPS-3.cpp" is the source file name, and the file that it created in the build was "a.out".

Could you post your output for :

gcc -v
g++ -v

(the last line)

This is strange, I just checked my Makefile after all this and it has changed to this following:

Code:

# Automatically generated by /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/scripts/mkmakefile: don't edit

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6

KERNELSRC    := /usr/src/linux-2.6.10
KERNELOUTPUT := /usr/src/linux-2.6.10

MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory

all:
	$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELSRC) O=$(KERNELOUTPUT)

%::
	$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELSRC) O=$(KERNELOUTPUT) $@

Very strange, just before the "make" it looked like a normal kernel Makefile.

What is a 'normal' Makefile for you ?
Could you try: make menuconfig 2> errors_logged ?

Normal as in this:

http://cosmotron.homeip.net/files/Makefile

And when I type in "make menuconfig 2> errors_logged" I get a ">" prompt and sits at that.

Cedrik · 01-03-2005, 07:34 PM

in which directory are you ?
pwd

also if you see a file named 'errors_logged' in this directory, could you post the first line (and
maybe 3 or 4 more)

I was in the directory "/usr/src/linux". And I don't see a "pwd" direcory.

pwd is a command, when you type pwd you see exactly where you are.

could you post the output of pwd ?

Um, it said "/usr/src/linux", what I said above and there is not file in that directory called "errors_logged".

darkarcon2015 · 01-03-2005, 07:55 PM

Okay, I got the errors_logged file, you can view it here:

http://cosmotron.homeip.net/files/errors_logged

Cedrik · 01-04-2005, 09:05 AM

I cant access your server, could you post the 4 first lines instead (just open errors_logged file in
a text editor, select the lines, then clik with the middle mouse button here)
