[gentoo-user] ati-drivers: no kernel found?

[Arnau Bria]

Hi,

I'm trying to install ati drivers, but I fins and error:

[...]

But I have my kernel, conf and MAkefile in /usr/src/linux:


lx-arnau linux # uname -r
2.6.31-gentoo-r6
lx-arnau linux # ls -lsad /usr/src/linux
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2009-11-27 16:20 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6

lx-arnau linux # ls /usr/src/linux
arch crypto firmware include ipc lib Module.markers Module.symvers scripts sound usr vmlinux
block drivers fs init kernel mm modules.order net security System.map virt vmlinux.o

lx-arnau linux # ls -lsa /usr/src/linux/.config
92 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87932 2010-03-11 11:16 /usr/src/linux/.config

so, why is ati complaining aboput my kerel conf?

TIA,

[Norman Rieß]

This listing is not a complete kernel set. Did you do a emerge
--depclean lately?
Reemerge you kernel ebuild and do a make oldconfig to be sure.

Then try it again.

For curiosity, what is missing? make oldconfing?¿

yep.

I'm with r6 and gentoo-sources is at r10, is it important? do Ihave to
remerge r6 too?

A complete listing looks like this:
bragi linux # ls
arch drivers Kbuild modules.builtin samples usr
block firmware kernel modules.order scripts virt
COPYING fs lib Module.symvers security vmlinux
CREDITS include MAINTAINERS net sound vmlinux.o
crypto init Makefile README System.map
Documentation ipc mm REPORTING-BUGS tools
bragi linux #

Depclean seems to delete some parts of the kernel directory if you have
a newer kernel ebuild available. Had that too, once.
Which release you use r6 or r10 is your choise. r10 is newer with more
security patches and such, so i would say you should use that one.
Do you know how to deal with a kernel update?

yes, yes, but I wanted to test ati drivers compilation before
recompiling the kernel and rebooting...

anyway, as I have to open my computer for changing video-card, going to
build new kernel an then, ati-drivers.

It looks like /usr/src/linux points to newly installed kernel sources on
which you have not run make *config yet.

nop, that's not the case:
