I attach my command history (ls and many "less readme" removed) and the grep^C .config file for reproduceability. However, even with these, I cannot reproduce the error on a different system, see below. Hope this makes any sense and is useful for the final release, Joachim Error message: [root@...alhost linux-2.6.19-rc4]# make install sh /extra/build/src/linux-2.6.19-rc4/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.19-rc4test arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.19-rc4test: No such file or directory FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.19-rc4test/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory No modules available for kernel "2.6.19-rc4test". mkinitrd failed make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2 Workaround: After manually creating the target directory, make install runs normally, and, after make modules_install, the kernel works fine for me. (Actually solving a problem of 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 with do_IRQ stack overflows. Very happy about this.) System: Pentium 4 2.66GHz, Fedora Core 5, kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5, gcc 4.1.1, GNU Make 3.80, everything run as root. Unable to reproduce the error on a Pentium 4 2.40GHz, SuSE 10.0, kernel 2.6.13-15.11-default, gcc 4.0.2, GNU Make 3.80 (zcat ~/Documents/config_c_only.txt.gz >.config, make menuconfig, then just exit). Proposed solution: Adding an mkdir -p ("no error if existing, make parent directories as needed") shouldn't harm the normal case and fix this problem in the rare case.
