=46rom the command line, paste in the output of:

uname -a

Also, your /etc/make.conf would help, and, as mentioned so would your kerne=
l=20
config file. It's also not clear what you mean by "can't get the thing to=20
make." Does it fail when you build, or when you install? I'm guessing you=20
mean that the build itself failed. If you logged your build, send the=20
relevant part as well, i.e., the part with the errors and some lines before=
=20
it for context. If not, for future reference, consider logging your build=20
(man script, or use make ... > /var/log/kernelbuild.out or something=20
similar).
