Kernel Compilation issue

not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I need some help.

I am attempting to compile the most recent stable kernel (2.6.28.8) with ABS, but when I run makepkg I get the error that the config file isn't found. as an option, I chose make oldconfig, if that's relevant. nothing is written about this in the wiki entry.

PLEASE HELP

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Kernel Compilation issue

one more problem, my patch won't work. ../current-tuxonice-for-2.6.28.patch it can't find it for some reason. I even tried renaming it to use underscores instead. I have a copy in both the ~/ABS/kernel folder (where the rest of my files are) and in just the regular ~/ABS folder

Re: Kernel Compilation issue

add the patch name or url in the source array of your PKGBUILD.

Re: Kernel Compilation issue

I already tried that... or I think I did, unless it absolutely has to be online.
however, I compiled without tuxonice as a test, and it worked fine,
actually I can't find the output files after pacmaning the package. this proves a problem when configuring grub.
