Hello,
it's really strange that this problem shouldn't occure before.
apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.19
worked well on my potato 2.2r3 system. I unpacked the sources
in /usr/src and tried to
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19# make menuconfig
mv: cannot create regular file `include/linux/version.h': No such file or
directory
make: *** [include/linux/version.h] Error 1
I havn't the slightest idea what might went wrong here.
Note that this failure was on the machine which had now its third
crash this weekend :-(. I reported about this issue under the topic
"power Error" on this list. I wanted to give a newer kernel a try,
but was struck by this problem.
For sure there is
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19# ls -l include/linux/v*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75 Dec 28 1998 include/linux/vfs.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1494 Aug 26 1999

include/linux/vt_buffer.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2972 Mar 28 1999 include/linux/vt_kern.h
and I can also
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19# touch include/linux/version.h
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19# ls -l include/linux/version.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 17 15:27 include/linux/version.h
Is this a problem of the source package. I compiled
# uname -a
Linux bse 2.2.18pre21 #1 SMP Tue Dec 19 22:53:19 CET 2000 sparc64 unknown
myself without any problem on this machine.
Kind regards
Andreas.
