I noticed Anders said he ran:
make mrproper make cloneconfig #needed, since some module makefiles get info on how the kernel is configured from the .config make dep
While all I did was run make dep. Perhaps the mrproper and cloneconfig is in order here. (what does make mrproper do anyway?)
make mrproper removes all traces of previous builds (I think someone once said Mr. Proper was a german detergent, I don't know). It's the best way to start fresh with a kernel source tree. It's similar to 'make distclean' in regular tarballs.
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/config.h:4: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or
autoconf.h will be generated by make cloneconfig. It is a header file that holds #defines on how the kernel is configured. //Anders
