Hello all,
I have been trying to compile a kernel for 2.6.26. According to the procedure here:
How To Compile A Kernel - The SuSE Way | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials
When doing “make rpm”, I get the error below. But when doing “make” alone, get no errors.
What gives?
Any help, hints or advice is appreciated 
simba:/usr/src/linux # make rpm
make clean
set -e; cd …; ln -sf /mnt/secbook/ADDITIONAL/OS/LINUX/LINUX_2_6_26/kernel/linux-2.6.26.3 kernel-2.6.26.3default

set -e; cd …; rm kernel-2.6.26.3default
