Compiling klibc against a uvesafb-patched kernel - [SOLVED]

patching file usr/kinit/do_mounts_md.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 226 (offset -2 lines).
The 'linux' symlink is missing; it should point to a kernel tree 
configured for the i386 architecture.
make: *** [linux] Error 1

I recently used the ABS/CVS build system to create a patched kernel with uvesafb.  I installed the kernel properly (had to clear out my linux src folder before hand, "... exists in filesystem" errors when I first tried to pacman -U it), and I had my new kernel source tree.  ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-ARCH linux.  Made the symlink.  Tried to compile klibc in /var/abs/base/klibc with makepkg, and I got this error.  Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Edit: here's the output of ls -al in the /usr/src directory, showing the link....

Were you in /usr/src when you entered that command? If not, you created the symlink somewhere else.

Re: Compiling klibc against a uvesafb-patched kernel - [SOLVED]

I think the problem might have been that when I compiled the kernel,  I didn't set the arch properly, or should it have set itself?

Output of make menuconfig in the /usr/src/linux directory:

scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
drivers/crypto/Kconfig:44: can't open file "arch/s390/crypto/Kconfig"

Obviously, I have no arch/s390 directory, only arch/i386 and x86_64 directories.

i get the same output if i try to use the kernel configuration. any way to fix this?

Re: Compiling klibc against a uvesafb-patched kernel - [SOLVED]

You don't have to do that, uvesafb is integrated into the arch kernel now, just install v86d add it to the hooks in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and edit /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb and then run mkinitcpio -p kernel26 works my with Intel graphic card, haven't tested it with the nvidia card yet
