Kernel sources problem

ckristi · 2006-11-25 05:39:35

Hi again.

I've tried last night to compile the "stock" kernel-2.6.18-ARCH provided with the distro (and updated to the latest package) so I can customize it the way I like it. But I've run into a compilation problem after menuconfig. When I run make i get this error:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18-ARCH/init/Makefile'.  Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2

I don't know what's to be done. Maybe I've done something wrong or maybe I didn't do something that I should have done. ;-) Anyways.. I downloaded the vanilla 2.6.18.3 and compiled it. It works ok that way, too. But if this is a bug I just wanted to report it.

Not a bug. Arch does not install the kernel source by default.

Use "abs" to download all our arch64 cvs stuff then cd /var/abs/kernel/kernel26 and just makepkg there. It will download all sources. Then you can play with it.

I knew it should be my mistake. Thanks for clearing this out.
Is your version of kernel a lot different than the vanilla kernel?
Or is it ok to stick with the vanilla version without breaking anything?
(except the video module for nvidia, which I'm building myself)

I'm running on vanilla kernel as well as vanilla nvidia drivers and I've not had any issues.
