Description Thomas Spear 2010-07-27 02:15:15 EDT 
Description of problem:
Unable to build kernel or external modules

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gcc and kernel-devel plus all dependencies
2. cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64
3. make mrproper
  
Actual results:
[root@tom 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64]# make mrproper
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/infiniband] Error 2
make: *** [_clean_drivers] Error 2
[root@tom 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64]# 

Expected results:
Makes a clean source directory for compiling.

Additional info:

/proc/config.gz does not exist either so cannot make oldconfig as I've been previously able to.

Also receive errors using the NVidia driver installer which was working in the past, logs indicate it is because kernel sources are not properly setup (build has not been done yet).

*NOTE: This is a fresh install done 2 days ago with all of the latest updates.
**NOTE: I am about to test the updates-testing kernel and see if anything improves.
***NOTE: Nouveau is blacklisted as it does not work well with wine and 3d games in Windows. Using wine-1.2 from stable repo.
Comment 1 Thomas Spear 2010-07-27 02:19:29 EDT 
updates-testing kernel does not build either, same error:

[tom@tom 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64]$ make mrproper
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64/drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/infiniband] Error 2
make: *** [_clean_drivers] Error 2

End result is that I cannot use the Nvidia driver, thereby resulting in the inability to use wine for gaming.
Comment 2 Thomas Spear 2010-08-02 20:36:26 EDT 
Any updates?
Comment 3 Neil Horman 2010-08-03 07:34:16 EDT 
Yeah, you're doing it wrong :)

The place you're trying to build in just contains the kernel headers (for the purposes of building external modules, or user apps that require exported kernel specific info).  If you want to build a kernel you need to download the kernel source rpm, install and build that.
Comment 4 Thomas Spear 2010-08-03 11:14:35 EDT 
2 things:

1) I am trying to build the nvidia binary module, and that is failing so I figured I would try to see what is going wrong.

2) I see no kernel-source in any of the repos and I've installed all of the other kernel packages like kernel-devel kernel-debuginfo etc. So where do I get the kernel-source rpm from?
Comment 5 Thomas Spear 2010-08-03 12:19:06 EDT 
After removing the updates-testing kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers and reinstalling them from updates, and downloading the new nvidia driver, I was able to get it to compile without issue.
