Re: [Ltib] Problems updating kernel on MPC8377EWLAN

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Francesco,

Looking at it it seems the kernel you're building might not work with 
Ubuntu's dash kernel.  Dash does not support expansions like: 
etc/hotplug/{*.{agent,rc},hotplug.functions}

First, check that you are running dash (ls -l /bin/sh and/or echo 
$SHELL).  If you are you need to mail the kernel mailing list and ask 
whether or not they intend it to be possible to build kernels if your 
shell is dash.  If they won't change it or don't support dash your next 
best option is it switch the systems default shell to bash.

Regards, Stuart
