It is looking for /usr/src/sys/param.h. In my 3.4 kernel Makefile, the
only place I see this is,
vers.c: $S/conf/newvers.sh $S/sys/param.h ${SYSTEM_DEP}
sh $S/conf/newvers.sh ${KERN_IDENT} ${IDENT}
You have not done something weird like moved the compile/MYKERNEL
directory someplace else? What happens if you are in the compile
directory and do a,
# ls -l ../../sys/param.h
Although I don't know if this could possibly be making problems, you
are doing a 'make depend' before the 'make', right?
