Ralph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list To All: Thanks for your help. I solved the problem by unmergeing and deleting all the kernel directories in /usr/src/ and in /lib/module. I then cleaned out /boot of all files except for the bzImage file. I then emerged the gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r2 kernel and followed the direction carefull and lo and behold I have a new shinny compiled kernel. Thanks for your help.

[gentoo-user] Kernel Make Errors Help Needed
Hi all: I am fairly new to gentoo and kernel build in general. I have built several kernels so far but still have some problems that need to be gotten over. So when emerge brought me the gentoo-2.4.20-r2 kernel I decided to try again. However I now have the following compile errors with the 2.4.20-r2 gentoo sources kernel: make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/drivers/pnp' make -C scsi modules_install make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/drivers/scsi' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/drivers/scsi' make -C sound modules_install make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/drivers/sound' mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/sound/ cp soundcore.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/sound/ cp: cannot stat `soundcore.o': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/drivers/sound' make[1]: *** [_modinst_sound] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r2/drivers' make: *** [_modinst_drivers] Error 2 At first it could not find the ARCnet dummy module. So I deleted that from the config because I do not have any ARCnet on my system. Now It does not see the soundcore.o modules. I suspect that if I removed that from the config it would not find the next module. Can someone give me some quidance as to what might be wrong and how to correct it.

Will let you know how it goes. mrproper (to my knowledge) is unique to the linux kernel makefiles. It's like clean on steroids, and is designed to return the entire tree back to it's original state. All configuration, generated includes, compiled source, etc, is removed, forcing the regeneration/compilation of everything. The errors you've been getting may be indicative of an incorrect .config, if you copy a .config from a older/newer configured kernel, edit it (bad things can easily happen from manually editing), run 'make oldconfig' first, then menuconfig if you wish to check things over (I always do, and generally find something I missed/could use) -- Mike Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
