sorry, i was in a hurry, i really should have asked more specific |
| 24 |
questions. yes, there is no makefile in the kernel sources and that |
| 25 |
causes all make commands in the kernel source dir to fail (of course). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
i have the sources for 3.0.6 installed and configured emerge to change |
| 28 |
the symlinks on install of kernel sources. |
| 29 |
but... does emerge delete the older makefiles? why would it? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
i hope there is a reasonable explanation for the makefiles |
| 32 |
disappearing, i really can't use a failing HD at the moment. |
