Package: kernel-package Version: 11.015 Severity: normal
Apologies if I've done something stupid, but here's what happens: I downloaded and untar'd the 2.6.28-rc8 source to /usr/local/src/linux (I am trying to see if bug #422675 still occurs in this more recent kernel). I made a symlink to it from /usr/src/linux. I touched nothing else. I have full rwx permissions to the tree. My command line is make-kpkg --append-to-version cctest --revision cc01 --config menuconfig configure Everything builds fine, and I get the config menu. It defaults to using the config from the running kernel, but I load the /boot/config-2.6.26-1-686 as suggested in bug #422675. I then save a copy of the configuration (for checking later) and exit the configurator: --- BEGIN PASTE scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/x86/Kconfig # # using defaults found in /boot/config-2.6.10-kate # *** End of Linux kernel configuration. *** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/linux' make EXTRAVERSION=-rc8-cctest ARCH=i386 prepare make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/linux' scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig *** *** You have not yet configured your kernel! *** (missing kernel .config file) *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** make[4]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1 make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2 make[2]: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'.

Like I said, apologies if I'm missing something obvious. I'm not required to generate .config manually, am I?
