BBB - kernel Build - Error during update of configuration

Embedded Linux Discussions
1

Hi all and Robert,

I have a kernel configuration problem during kernel building with current (october 2020) ./build_kernel.sh script. My host computer is on a new ubuntu 20.04. I try many thing (one example to see below) but i turn around !

When i run the script and when i arrive to kernel buid, i have this output !

make -j8 ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION=-bone40 CROSS_COMPILE="/media/neku/home/soft/elinux/tp/2020-2021/disco/kernel/bb-kernel/dl/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-" zimage modules
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig

****** Error during update of the configuration.***

make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:40 : silentoldconfig] Erreur 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:522 : silentoldconfig] Erreur 2

I try to use oldconfig and rebuild … but this DIY solution is not satisfactory :slight_smile: ! And i can’t build modules …

make -j8 ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION=-bone40 CROSS_COMPILE="/media/neku/home/soft/elinux/tp/2020-2021/disco/kernel/bb-kernel/dl/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-" oldconfig

./scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig

yes “” | make -j8 ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION=-bone40 CROSS_COMPILE="/media/neku/home/soft/elinux/tp/2020-2021/disco/kernel/bb-kernel/dl/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-" oldconfig

make -j8 ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION=-bone40 CROSS_COMPILE="/media/neku/home/soft/elinux/tp/2020-2021/disco/kernel/bb-kernel/dl/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-" zImage

…
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready

Have you got an idea !? A big thank’s for your help and work since a long time. I’m a french teacher and we use with students your work since many years !

Best regards … and have a nice day :slight_smile:

Hi @hugo,

What file system is this path on?

/media/neku/home/

This looks to be a non-native linux file system…

Hi Robert,

A big thank’s it’s this. I don’t think that problem due to this :slight_smile: !

I just reinstall a new system with dual disk SSD/HDD on my computer, SSD for system (GNU\Linux mount in /) and HDD for data (default mount in /media/). Before, an old windows system from my school with virtual machine for linux was installed on my computer. It’s why now my data working directory (HDD specific disk) is by default mount in /media/ …

Thank’s again and have a nice end of week :slight_smile:
