That should have been a 'make cloneconfig' or 'make oldconfig' or 'make menuconfig'.
Yes, that is what I tried, the "*" in the above was saying I tried all the varients of "<*>config", eg, 'clone', 'old', etc. Sorry I wasn't clear.

As you get that (see your other mail) also after 'make oldconfig prepare', I think that might be /usr/include/asm. Please show a

You should have the 'asm', as that's linked in the postinstall scriptlet of linux-kernel-headers, and you've got that package installed.

Yes, that's why I'm so flustered. As far as I know, this machine is essentially configured the same as my 10.3 machine, which works. I routinely compile Kernels and drivers on that machine, but as I wanted to upgrade the 10.3 machines to 11.1 or higher, I figured I needed to ensure I could compile Kernels and driver modules (which I need absolutely due to an erstwhile unsupported hardware raid controller on my main (now 10.3) raid server which has 9 drives on it, 4 of which are a software raid using my old IDE drives and the rest are SATA drives on the controller card. Both of the machines (the 10.3 and this 11.1) are using the same MBd and both have 4G of memory and a minimum of 450W Power supply and UPSs for the "Florida Bump and Light" power requirements. They also have gigabit network connections up to (but not through) the cable modem box. I have an 8 port SMC router connecting my equipment and all ports are in use so I may have to get a larger (ports) SMC. The 10.3 and this one both run 24x7 and except for hurricanes, I never reboot the 10.3 and only rarely reboot the 11.1 in my bedroom. The other machines also run 24x7 and I don't reboot them either. One has been up since Hurricane Charlie some years back. I am truly at a loss as to why this 11.1 machine won't compile stuff. I have upgraded it and reinstalled all packages, upgrading where they were available. I always "upgrade" even existing packages by forcing replacement of files. I only started to try to do compiles recently so never ran into this problem before on this machine. Any ideas are most welcome. --- Thanks In Advance - eg TIA Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
