Recently I am trying to use git with kernel development, and add the linux-2.6.21 to git repo as follow:
cd linux-2.6.21
git init
git add .
git commit
But when I using "git clone" to get the this repo and then compile it, it said that arch/xxx/vmlinux.lds.S can't be found. Then I checked .gitignore, found vmlinux* on the list. I don't know why...
Is it the normal way to build a kernel source repo? Of course, if I cloned source from the Linus Torvalds's, everything goes well.
I tried git 1.5.1.4 and 1.5.1.6.
Thanks!
