Description Tom Bledsoe 2001-11-01 08:32:25 UTC
Description of Problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How Reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Red Hat Linux 7.2 w/ GRUB
2. Follow "Official RH Customization Guide, RHL 7.2" Appendix A: Building 
a custom kernel.
3. Section A.1, building a Modularized Kernel, "make install" fails.

Actual Results:
Output at the end of "make install" before failure:

+ exec /sbin/install/kernel 2.4.7-10custom bzImage /usrsrc/linux2.4.7-
10/System.map ' '

/etc/lilo.conf: No such file or directory

make [1]: *** [install] Error 1

make [1]: Leaving directory ...

make [2]: *** [install] Error 2

<returns to prompt>

Expected Results:

The make process should realize that grub rather than lilo was used and 
act accordingly.  Instead, when it can't find /etc/lilo.conf - it fails.

Additional Information:

This has nothing to do with make.
