Hello

In my ongoing quest to get suse on an Eeepc just the way I want it I encountered a problem: While fixing the Madwifi drivers I get the error: "Error: file /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/build/.config: no such file or directory." when I perform make install. I tried "cp /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/build/makedumpfile.config /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/build/.config" , but I when I tried to make install again it told me: "ath_hal/ah_target.inc:5: *** ARCH must be defined". Stop" . Does anyone have a clue as what is wrong and, more importantly: Does anyone know how to fix or circumvent this?

SUSE does not include .config files of standard kernels. You can re-create it, if I remember correctly, by doing

make cloneconfig

in /usr/src/linux

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.") Googeling for (w/o the <>) did offer me with a lot of solutions.... to other problems! A quick use of "find Files/Folders" for cloneconfig gave me no results Thanks for the try anyways Neil -- There are two kinds of people: 1. People who start their arrays with 1. 1.

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!!! all will be well afterwards... good luck, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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.... d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
