Subject: [gentoo-user] Problem with "make oldconfig" 2.6.30-8 ==> 2.6.31
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:37:58
Message-Id: 20100310013650.GA6034@waltdnes.org
1 Today is when running a lilo menu with "production" and "experimental"
2 kernels saved me. "production" is 2.6.30-r8. "experimental" is
3 2.6.31-r6 or 2.6.31-r10 (same problems with either one). I set
4 /usr/src/linux to point at 2.6.31-r6 (or 10), copied .config from
5 2.6.30-r8 and ran "make oldconfig". I got the warnings listed below
6 before the config process started. "make oldconfig" appears to have
7 reset to default values, and it was showing me some settings totally the
8 opposite of what I know I've set. When I ran through "make oldconfig",
9 compiled and rebooted, I got a framebuffer console, which I *KNOW* I
10 haven't selected. And there was a kernel panic because gentoo couldn't
11 find the boot device.
12
13 I'm enough of a bit-twiddler that I can set up the kernel manually.
14 But I know from past experience that it's a long slow process. Is
15 there any trick to salvage "make oldconfig", before I resort to setting
16 up the kernel "the hard way"? Here's the output from "make oldconfig"
17 up to where it starts asking questions...
