hello, i have a 2.6.8.-3-686 etch debian system. i want to manually download and install a new kernel because of some errors when installing vmware for linux. so i downloaded the new kernel 2.6.19.2 and when i do a "make menuconfig", i get: ca-phlinux:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2# make menuconfig scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig init/Kconfig:263: can't open file "usr/Kconfig" make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1 make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 ca-phlinux:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2# uname -a Linux ca-phlinux 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 4 16:41:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux ca-phlinux:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2# i already tried: ca-phlinux:/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2# make-kpkg clean exec make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk clean /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk:53: No .config file found ====== making target minimal_clean [new prereqs: ]====== Cleaning. test ! -f .config || cp -pf .config config.precious test ! -e stamp-building || rm -f stamp-building test ! -f Makefile || \ make ARCH=i386 distclean make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2' scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2/sound/usb/Makefile: No such file or directory make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.2/sound/usb/Makefile'.
