[gentoo-laptop] Kernel compile ploblems on powerbook

[maillists]

Hi,

I am somewhat new to gentoo, and very new to gentoo on a powerbook.

I have a powerbook G3 500Mhz firewire (pismo) and I am having alot of
trouble compiling a kernel. I'm using the 2006.0 CD.

I tried doing it manually and I get this error:
# cd /usr/src/linux/
# make defconfig
Can't find default configuration "arch/powerpc/configs/ppc_defconfig"!


If I use genkernel, I get the following:

How can I compile my kernel??

Hi there,

and what is the content of the log file? It's empty?

That was a snip from the log file... Actually, I was able to do in
manually (not using genkernel) and it finally worked. I'm not sure what
I did, but now I'm on to configuring the system and a boot loader...

Thanks!
Rick
