When I do make -f Makefile.kern, I get following error: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic' scripts/Makefile.build:41: /home/Leo/Desktop/My_Kernel_Stuff/TEST/Makefile: No such file or directory make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/Leo/Desktop/My_Kernel_Stuff/TEST/Makefile'. Stop. make[1]: *** [_module_/home/Leo/Desktop/My_Kernel_Stuff/TEST] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic' Looks like it is trying to look for an file named Makefile, which I have renamed as Makefile.kern. If this is the case then what is the point of make -f. -Leo. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
