Master Kernel Thread

[UniverseA7X]

Okay. I tried to run xconfig again, and another error came up, but it was narrowed down to a few things. I managed to fix one, which stated that the Qt3 Dev package wasn't installed, easily fixed by synaptic.

Now I just have this one error left

root@MacbookLinux:/usr/src/linux# make xconfig
  CHECK   qt
/usr/bin/moc -i scripts/kconfig/qconf.h -o scripts/kconfig/qconf.moc
  HOSTCXX scripts/kconfig/qconf.o
/bin/sh: g++: not found
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf.o] Error 127
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
root@MacbookLinux:/usr/src/linux#

Is there a package named g++ that i should install? Your help is really appreciated.

Okay. I FIXED IT!!

thank you for your help.

found in synaptic that g++ was the compiler... duh.. i'd imagine you'd need a compiler to compile a kernel...


thank you. I'll let you know how it goes!

I followed your directions to install 2.6.25.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 on ThinkPad Z61t. When I rebooted with the new kernel I saw only a blank screen after the initial ubuntu loading screen. Two questions:
1. Is there a log file that might point to the error?
2. How do I cleanly remove the new kernel.

It is easy to use the old kernel so no real harm has been done.

1. See if you can switch to a terminal after Ubuntu loads. If you can, login and type

dmesg | tail

This should show you the last thing that happened. If you can't do this or you don't feel like fixing the error(s) that you see...

2. Boot into your old kernel and in a terminal type:

sudo apt-get remove 2.6.25.5*

This will remove the packages from your system and the entries from your grub list. You can also remove the source from /usr/src.

Thanks, unfortunately the computer seems pretty inert. I could try the safe mode and see what happens. Dm6257

As a follow-up, I ran kernelcheck and it worked fine. The final result was the same. After booting, the screen went blank, blinked twice and then everything stopped. I was able to remove the new kernel following your directions above.

If anyone has a suggestion as to what I might have done wrong I would be interested in hearing it. I am running Hardy on a ThinkPad Z61t and my current kernel is 2.6.24.19-generic.

Thanks,

shows the Z61t comes in at least two flavors: one with Intel Integrated graphics and one with a Geforce Nvidia 6600 graphics card. If you have the Nvidia card, perhaps you need to install the restricted driver for the card.

[dm6257]

I checked and it is using the Intel Express chipset family and on Vista uses an Intel driver.

Hi,

My first time to compile from your website..

I can't get internet on eth0 says: SIOCGIFFFLAGGS error: No such Device + no sound

Is there a guide to help with selecting y/n when compiling?

So i can learn what my computer has/has not?

Thanks
