Stop. After deleting everything in the KBUILD_OUTPUT-directory, except the .config-file, the kernel-build worked again. At least in the past a "clean" seamed to be enough. I had a file with a 2.6.39-name inside, so it seams i have build my kernels this way for the last few releases. -- Matthias -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
