Cannot open kernel menu configuration

wantilles · 2007-10-02 22:40:48

In both architectures, when I go to /usr/src/linux and enter a:

make menuconfig

This is what I get:

scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
drivers/crypto/Kconfig:44: can't open file "arch/s390/crypto/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

The same happens if I enter a make oldconfig.

The symlink (linux -> linux-2.6-blah-blah) is correctly placed as is the .config file.

Both are where they are supposed to be.

This did work normally on previous versions of the kernel.

What has changed now?

This hasn't worked for a long time. It's a feature, not a bug...
/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-ARCH is a stripped tree. It only contains those files necessary to build out-of-tree modules against...

I see.

In the past, when the tree was still full, and it could be done, I had taken a glimpse inside Arch kernel configuration.

You see, I do not need to compile my own kernel as the stock works perfectly.

But as an old Gentoo user, for educational purposes, I do look inside kernel configurations from time to time.

Is there any way to see the configuration? (I am not so familiar with reading directly the .config file)

A package perhaps containing the full source tree, or perhaps something in the abs tree?

Okay ignore my last question.

I get the kernel26 PKGBUILD from abs, and follow the build script up before to the point where the make config is issued.

try /boot/kconfig26
That's the config for linux-x.y.z-ARCH

Also, if the kernel is compiled with proc and config support, you can do this

zcat /proc/config.gz > config.kernel26

I'm not sure if the stock-kernel has this support, but I think it has

Arch Linux
