Well, I've run into another problem with the compile that folks might find interesting.
All while running as the only user account on this machine (other than root), I ran into a very interesting permissions error at the end of the "make-kpkg kernel_image" process. I did the compile as root successfully after seeing this error the first time, just to see if it was user related, and the compile completed successfully. In fact, I'm running 2.6.35-rc6 right now, no problems. But I erased the directory and un-tarred the generic kernel source again just to be sure, and received the same permission error again. I'm just not sure if this is a debian "make-kpkg" error or not... Here's the error and ls -a of the directories I think its referring to: ================= echo done > debian/stamp/build/kernel /usr/bin/make -f ./debian/rules debian/stamp/binary/pre-linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02 make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6' ====== making target debian/stamp/install/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02 [new prereqs: ]====== This is kernel package version 12.036. rm -f -r .//usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02 .//usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02.deb install -p -d -o root -g root -m 755 /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/postinst.d /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/preinst.d \ /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/postrm.d /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/prerm.d install: cannot change owner and permissions of `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/postinst.d': Operation not permitted install: cannot change owner and permissions of `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/preinst.d': Operation not permitted install: cannot change owner and permissions of `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/postrm.d': Operation not permitted install: cannot change owner and permissions of `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/prerm.d': Operation not permitted make[1]: *** [debian/stamp/install/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6' make: *** [kernel_image] Error 2 $ dir /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/kernel/ total 16 drwx------ 2 curt curt 4096 Jul 25 21:12 postinst.d drwx------ 2 curt curt 4096 Jul 25 21:12 postrm.d drwx------ 2 curt curt 4096 Jul 25 21:12 preinst.d drwx------ 2 curt curt 4096 Jul 25 21:12 prerm.d $ dir /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-rc6/debian/linux-image-2.6.35-rc6-curt.02/etc/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 6 curt curt 4096 Jul 25 21:12 kernel ================= -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
