Hi
make cloneconfig

-- Mark Goldstein -- Thanks for the idea, but in /usr/src is no folder "linux". There is a linux-2.6.25.5-1.1-obj but in this folder is no cloneconfig. There are 2 folders there, i386 and i586, but none of them have a cloneconfig in them (and I tried, just to be sure, make cloneconfig in all of them, but to no avail: "make: *** No rule to make target 'cloneconfig'. Stop.") Do you have kernel source installed? There should be directory without -obj (linux-2.6.25-1.1 in your case) and linux is softlink to this directory. And cloneconfig is one of the targets in make file.
I did it myself (well, some time ago, so I might forget some details). -- Mark Goldstein "no folder linux" also happened to me. some weird thing. remove kernel source, reinstall and ....reboot... *don't* forget to reboot!!! There is _*NO*_ reboot needed, this is *NOT* windows!

unfortunately it is becoming more and more necessary. just installing the source did *not* create /usr/src/linux for me. most probably i only needed a reboot when i first got the message "no linux dir in /usr/src", instead i reinstalled the kernel sources and then rebooted.... another case where rebooting is required, is with serious x server crashes. Yes the culprit usually is non open source drivers, however, there is little else we can do when the ati or nvidia or intel or whatever video card throws us a blank screen and not even a remote login can be executed....

I was referring to the install of the kernel sources which does not require a reboot. If the link is missing simply create it. Even changing drivers does not necessarily require a reboot only a reload of the new driver if it is a kernel module. The video driver is one area where going to run level 3 unload the old driver, reload the new one and then back to run level 5. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
