2003-02-07 Thread dsavage
I just downloaded the latest linux-2.5.59.tar.bz2 file from kernel.org, bunzipped in in /usr/src, and tried 'make rpm'. After several hundred lines of initial output, the process failed with this output: + make oldconfig dep clean bzImage modules make[1]: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'.

Jesse, Is this an LSI-rebranded AMI MegaRAID card? If so, I've had excellent luck with an older MegaRAID 1200 card and Red Hat. Its lengthy BIOS POST is a bit annoying when rebooting, but that's about the only downside. The Linux driver is solid. I'm currently running fifteen 4.5G IBM U+W drives i

Giovanni, rpm sometimes gets confused and doesn't complete an operation. Intermediate files are left behind, and these cause more confusion. As root, go to /var/lib/rpm and delete any __db.00x files. Also any rpm* files in /var/tmp. Then run 'rpm --rebuilddb'. This should fix things. --Doc Sav
