Can't compile kernel

Zmyrgel · 2006-10-04 16:42:04

I've been trying to get my kernel to compile but it always fails. I have kernel-headers package installed but it still won't compile it. I tried to just reconfigure the kernel26beyond kernel but it failed. Then I tested it on vanilla kernel downloaded from kernel.org manually pathed and it failed too. Then I installed the kernel26suspend2 package and tried to recompile it but then again when building it, it fails. Here's output.

Any idea how to get a kernel compiled? Just trying to compile vanilla kernel to see if the patch are the cause which is quite odd as someone has already compiled them once...

/usr/src does not contain the full kernel source. Please either use the PKGBUILD (prefered method - see the wiki) or download your own source and build it somewhere else.

Also note, you should not be building things as root, do it as a normal user and do the install portions only as root.

I downloaded the full source but even that had problems... I tested it with plain vanilla source with any patch so the problem seem to be the patching itself. I'll try to figure out the exact cause. Probably try the patching again and compile until I succeed.
