which is not there in linux-2.6.15, so it fails ...
Could you please post the actual error messages? It isn't very helpful to just hear "it's broken" with no context/errors to look at. Thanks
sorry, i thought it is obvious ... * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.11_pre6 * Running with options: --xconfig --gensplash=livecd-2005.1 kernel * Linux Kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 for x86... * kernel: >> Running mrproper... * config: Using config from /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 * Previous config backed up to .config.bak * >> Running oldconfig... * ERROR: Failed to compile the "oldconfig" target... * -- Grepping log... -- Makefile:449: /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1/arch/x86/Makefile: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden my environment is german, the message means: file or directory not found. so i wrote "genkernel 3.3.11_pre6 wants a nonexistent arch/x86 subdirectory ..." genkernel 3.3.10 works OK in the same situation btw.
