Subject: [gentoo-user] problem compiling Kernel 6.1.27-gentoo-r1
Date: Sat, 20 May 2023 02:59:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZGhv78QpSiGZLgZo@ca.inter.net> (raw)
I'm trying to install Gentoo in my new machine
& have got to the step of compiling a kernel.
I used the config file from my present machine, did 'make oldconfig'
& have then done 'make menuconfig' to include drivers etc.
The 'make' stage goes on for a long time, then crashes doing
'UPD drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw.gen.S'
with message "make [5] *** No rule to make target
'lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw' needed by 'drivers/base/firmware_loader/
builtin/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw.gen.o' Stop".
The relevant line in Menuconfig is 'DeviceDrivers > NetworkDeviceSupport >
EthernetDriverSupport' under 'Realtek devices'.
I've tried it with 'Realtek8169/8168/...' 'Y' or 'M' or 'N'
& also with 'Realtek devices' as 'N'. I also tried a 'make clean'.
The same error goes on happening.
Since I don't have anything by Realtek for networking
-- sound uses Realtek -- , I can't understand the behaviour above.
Can anyone offer any advice ?
