Hi,
I ran “make cloneconfig” as normal user.
Should this be done as root?
The instructions don’t state clearly with commands to do as root or

Hi
Take a step back for a moment, the issues are;
- Don’t become root user for building anything,
- Because your not root user, doing stuff in /usr/src/linux won’t work
because you don’t have the permissions (good because as a user you
won’t cause potential problems 
)
So as indicated by user arvidjaar to use your home directory use;
make O=/home/<username>/linux/build
Now in saying that did you check the current kernel configuration for
the options your wanting to add? AFAIK the current desktop kernel is
set for low latency etc…?
So if you run (AS you user)
cd
mkdir -p /home/<username>/linux/build
cp /proc/config.gz .
gunzip config.gz
chmod 644 config
Now open the config file with an editor and verify the changes exist/don’t exist… then save as required.
Now;
cp /home/<username>/config /home/<username>/linux/build/.config
chmod 444 /home/<username>/linux/build/.config
cd /usr/src/linux
make O=/home/<username>/linux/build
See how that goes first…

From that I would assume your kernel now compiles ok?
Did your modified configuration work as expected?

You have to make sure the group has write permissions, and that your
user belongs to the group that owns /usr/src/linux, that’s all.

But before that you have to configure it all. Like “make

Hi
Never done that in my compiles for kernels or modules, never had to
change permissions on anything in /usr/src/linux?
Compiles fine every time, please explain in more detail why the OP
needs to do this?

Hi
So are you on 32bit? Can you try a make clean on your build directory.
The other thing is have you modified the config file? If so please
create a new config file without any modifications and copy to the
build directory.
To clean for a new build, please run;
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean O=/data/scratch/linux/build/
make O=/data/scratch/linux/build/

To be able to do is as plain user. One should not do makes as root, and
the kernel should not be an exception - although I have to confess that
I have done it countless times as root.

Hi
But nothing I’ve asked the user to do involves being root, the actual
building takes place in the users home directory, but is run
from /usr/src/linux therefore nothing needs permission changes…

There are several people talking and it is difficult to track what
exactly has been said and by whom. One method is to write to another
directory, as you say, but another is to change ownership or permissions
of the build directory so that a plain user can write there.

Hi,
I still have a problem doing the compile as normal user.
Please see bellow the permissions for /usr/src/linux.
Also for the /home/augie.
I have no idea why I’m having so much trouble.
I take some comfort in the fact that people have done this as root and normal user.
Thank you,

You may want to verify kernel-source RPM using (as root) “rpm -V kernel-source” and reinstall if some files are missing.
bor@opensuse:/usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/Documentation/DocBook/media> sudo rpm -V kernel-source
root's password:
bor@opensuse:/usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16/Documentation/DocBook/media>
In my case no output - which is good.

In the post that you were told to read earlier, there were instructions on how
to change to ownership of the source files from root:root to <your_user>:users.
For your system, that would call for doing the following:
sudo chown -R augie:sea /usr/src/linux-3.4.11-2.16
Obviously, you chose not to do that, thus you are having all these problems with
permissions. Why your user belongs to group “sea” and not “users” is a separate
question.
Once you do the above step, building and installing a kernel is as simple as
make cloneconfig
make
sudo make modules_install install
Be aware that the “make cloneconfig” step only needs to be done once. In
addition, it is special to openSUSE sources. If you get your source from the
original place at kernel.org, then that step is replaces by “zcat
/proc/config.gz > .config” while you are in the directory of the kernel source.
Hi,
The files are not there.
The “rpm -V kernel-source” returns tons of missing files.
How do I configure this correctly?
Thank you,
Augie
Just reinstall the package(s):
zypper in -f kernel-source kernel-devel
And I strongly advise you - copy source tree from /usr/src/linux to somewhere else in your home directory and play there. Not in /usr/src/linux.

But you have not changed the permissions! See for yourself,
linux-3.4.11-2.16/ is owned by root and no write permission for the
group… and of course, you do it on the directory and all the files
inside. Every single one.
That is basic Linux knowledge.
Besides, that method is not for use with the O= option.
Again, notice that you are been given two different advices for doing
this: either change the permissions and then work as user on that
directory, or tell make to write to another directory. One or the other,
not both.

Hi,
The “make” worked as normal user.
I was missing some files.
The README.SUSE says to do “make”, “make modules_install” followed by “make install”.
However it was suggested to to “make modules” after “make”.
Which is correct?
Thank you,
Augie
