For the sake of simplicity I am rewriting all the steps that I did Step 1) copied the config from /boot to $HOME/linux-2.6 Step 2) yes ' ' | make O=$HOME/btc oldconfig Step 3) make O=$HOME/btc got errors make O=$HOME/btc GEN /home/tapas/btc/Makefile scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig arch/x86/Kconfig Using /home/tapas/linux-2.6 as source for kernel /home/tapas/linux-2.6 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/home/tapas/linux-2.6' directory. make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 I had then executed make distclean also and when it did not worked then gave it argument with make O=$HOME/btc distclean still got the same error.
