Done, and there is an improvement in the error code at least: * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found kernel object directory: * /tmp/kernel * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 * getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file. * getfilevar <VARIABLE> <CONFIGFILE> * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory. * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources. * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config. Why would the .config that's in the directory not be usable? I just did the make oldconfig && make as you suggested - which ran without errors ... I guess if I could read/understand bash I'd find out from "linux-info.eclass" what it wanted of .config - but that's where I come unstuck.
