Here is the error report: Q> scripts/Menuconfig: line 832: MCmenu78: command not found Please report this to the maintainer <mec@shout.net>. You may also send a problem report to <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>. Please indicate the kernel version you are trying to configure and which menu you were trying to enter when this error occurred. make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1 ******** End quote. Therefore, I'm reporting you that the kernel version is: linux-2.4.22-10mdk The "uname -a" command returns: "Linux core.ondems.com 2.4.22-10mdk #1 Thu Sep 18 12:30:58 CEST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux" The menu I was trying to get into (when this error appeared) was the "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture". If it helps, before I was trying to enter into that submenu I removed the support for *all* the sound cards in the "Sound" menu. Hoping that it helps, Best regards Aurelian -------- Aurelian Pop ONDÉMS Ltd. P.O.

I hope not. ^_^; http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2003-21/0234.html Maybe something like the following would be appropriate? (Of course, the real issue is to get Mandrake to say "Please report this to someone@mandrake-linux.com" ... ) (For the Mandrake people, lkml gets occasional messages from people building Mandrake kernels where Menuconfig fails at the ALSA menu due to a bug that's been fixed in Mandrake sources for a while, the attached patch will at least make sure lkml and the previous kbuild maintainer don't get those messages anymore; it also hints that people should try with a newer distro kernel.)
