So, please check where these files came from by |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
qfile /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6/Makefile |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Have you installed this kernel 'by hand' i.e. outside of portage? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Check by uname -a if you are not currently running linux-2.6.31-r6 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
If not, it's safe to rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6 |
| 46 |
and emerge it again. |
