Description Mario Vazquez 2003-07-10 17:00:17 UTC
make modules_install fail if PCMCIA/Cardbus support is excluded from kernel 
configuration.  The error was: 
 
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia 
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.4.21-pfeifer-r1_pre2; fi

this does not seem to be a bug, but a tree that needs cleaned-up.
do this:

save your .config 
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.4.21-pfeifer-r1_pre2/ 
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-pfeifer-r1_pre2/ 
emerge pfeifer-sources 
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-pfeifer-r1_pre2/ 
cp /path/to/config/ . 
make oldconfig 
make menuconfig (just to check you have the options you need) 
make dep && make clean && make bzImage modules modules_install 
mount /boot (if needed) 
cp -a arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot 
reboot (run lilo first if using it...)

if this does not solve, please post your .config and reopen.
