Installing kernel sources on alternative partition problem
Hi there,
I have a slightly obscure problem recompiling my potato
kernel-source-2.2.17 on a P100 laptop.
I have a disk space problem and therefore tried to unpack the kernel
sources on my other partition, which is a now redundant vfat partition
that had win 95 on it.
When I extract the tarball, I get the following error message:
tar: kernel-source-2.2.17/include/asm: Cannot create symlink to asm-i386':
Operation not permitted
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
And when I make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
ln: cannot create symbolic link asm' to asm-i386': Operation not permitted
make: *** [symlinks] Error 1
If anyone has a work around I would be really greatful to hear it.
The kernel sources seem to have bloated somewhat since slink as I
never had this disk space problem then...
And if anyone has any experience configuring a ESS1888 sound card to
work I would be really please to hear from you.
