38 What is meant is the last output right before "!!!!ERROR:"; in this
39 case, it is
40
41 * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
42 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux
43 sources.
44
45 This package compiles against the kernel, as you can see from
46
47 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
48 * Found kernel source directory:
49 * /usr/src/linux
50
51 However, the kernel source that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to has
52 not been configured using make (menu/x)config.
53
54 Therefore there is no .config file that the package can examine to
55 ensure that the kernel source in question has/will be built with the
56 support that the package requires.
57
58 You don't have to build or install this kernel source, but you do have
59 to configure it (properly for the submount package) before you attempt
60 to install the submount package. I'd think that the wiki entry will
61 detail the necessary kernel settings.
62
63 Hope this helps.
