apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

then try again.

I understand that the file is missing, probably .config

I new to linux and to backtrack, so i asking for help.

i was doing this commands to upgrade the kernel:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get install madwifi-drivers broadcom-sta r8187-drivers linux-source-2.6.34
apt-get clean
depmod -a

cd /usr/src/
rm -rf linux linux-source-2.6.30.9*
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.30.9/
tar jxpf linux-source-2.6.34.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-source-2.6.34 linux
cd linux
cp /boot/config-2.6.34 .config - here i got the error
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.34/build
make scripts && make prepare
apt-get clean && updatedb
reboot # dont forget to reboot!

the reason i doing this upgrade is because i have read that this will solve the problem
with my wireless adapter bcm4312, vmware doesnt recognize it and backtrack too.

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

then try again.

it didnt help, still get this error.

[dromar421]

reboot # dont forget to reboot!
.

Did you try that? I don't see any errors myself.

Did you try that? I don't see any errors myself.

i even dont get to reboot, i stuck at :
cp /boot/config-2.6.34 .config

No one encountered this problem?

Just manually go there and check for the file ... see if it's there.

[sunsin.yi]

if got the same error. the folder /boot/config-2.6.34 is'nt in the root@backtrack:/usr/src/linux/

I find only under the directory /src/linux-source-2.6.34/arch/* "/boot" directories. Nowhere the file config-2.6.34

And, yes, I have tried a reboot.

I have the same problem but i try to update kernel 2.6.34.1




I use VMware 7 workstation without Internet acces and used sugestion mentioned above but.... no succes!

Edit:

I found this post and it helped me!!

I was having the same updating problems, but have resolved them.

Use aptitude

Code:

aptitude full-upgrade

and it will prompt you with a solution to remove linux-image. DO NOT say Y to this solution.
It will then prompt a solution to install the latest 2.6.34 kernel (ending with bt7). Say N to this, too.
The next will be 2.6.34-bt6. Say N.
The next solution should be 2.6.34-bt3. Agree to this solution. It will download 4 wireless firmware files in addition to the older 2.6.34 kernel. These files must establish the /lib/firmware that we keep getting errors on.

The kernel will install, etc. You can reboot and run a full apt-get or aptitude dist-upgrade and the bt7 version of the 2.6.34 kernel will load successfully. It will also remove the 4 wireless firmware packages.

I'm not sure, but you might be able to just install one of the wireless packages and then perform a full update. The packages that installed were firmware-iwlwifi, firmware-ipw, firmware-b43 and firmware-ar9170
