Description Christian Loitsch 2002-03-26 12:06:48 UTC

I followed the manual, but for whatever reason my kernel would not
compile without a prior make mrproper.
kernel is 2.4.17-r5.

Yes.  Not sure the best way to go about fixing this one.

Comment 2 Christian Loitsch 2002-03-28 08:28:36 UTC

should be enough to just mention it in the manual.
The problem is not the make mrproper, but to find out, that you have
to do it.

This is fixed in linux-sources-2.4.19.  We now only do a make dep if we have
detected a pre-existing config in /usr/src/linux and used it for our new kernel,
in which case the config should be similar enough to what the user wants to not
require a make mrproper.  So soon, no make mrproper will be needed at new install
time.
