[Cbe-oss-dev] Problem with rebuilding latest Linux Kernel for PS3

[John Cunha]

Hi, I'm having some trouble building the 2.6.26 kernel on a Playstation 3 (Please be patient with me)... I downloaded http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2  I then downloaded the PS3 patch for the 2.6.26 kernel athttp://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/ps3/ps3-linux-kernel/patch-ps3-linux-2.6.26-stable.0.bz2 I untarred the linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 file with:tar xjf linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2
Next, I descended into the created linux-2.6.26 directory and places the patch-ps3-linux-2.6.26-stable.0.bz2 there.
 Next I tried to patch the code with the patch-ps3-linux-2.6.26-stable.0.bz2 patch with :bzcat patch-ps3-linux-2.6.26-stable.0.bz2 | patch -p1(That seemed to work with no problems) Next I did:sed -i s@'EXTRAVERSION ='@'EXTRAVERSION = -20080723'@ Makefile Next I did:   make oldconfig... and got : linux-2.6.26]# make oldconfig  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/lex.zconf.c  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/confscripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/powerpc/Kconfigarch/powerpc/Kconfig:221: can't open file "arch/powerpc/perfmon/Kconfig"make[1]: *** [oldconfig] Error 1make: *** [oldconfig] Error 2Something seems wrong...  Any ideas? What have I done wrong? Have I missed a step?Again... I've very sorry to be bugging you with this... Thanks in advance,John
