Hello,

I'm trying to recompile my kernel a get the following error when running the 'make dep' :

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-273/include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-273/include/linux/modules/signal.ver'. Stop

I've successfully installed the kernel-source package but the file /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-273/include/linux/modules/signal.ver is missing. I've run the 'make mrproper' and make menuconfig to create my own configuration. Does somebody if there is someting special to do on suse distrib before recompiling the kernel ??

Thanks in advance.

I normally start by getting an exact SUSE kernel to compile, then use make menuconfig to adjust from there. ie. make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep ... make cloneconfig will set your compile config based on the running kernel, so the above assumes you are running the SUSE kernel you are trying to compile.
