(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kcmlinuz Version: 2.2.2 If this problem is general severity should be higher. I click on the KDE control center icon and select System | Linux Kernel Configurator. Then I click "Load From" and navigate to a copy of the configuration file save under /boot by kernel-package (? not sure that's the exact name--the debian way of building kernels). I select the file hit OK and it crashes. I thought it might be a permission issue so I copied config-2.4.12 to my home directory and changed ownership. Still crashes repeatably. I thought it might be that the default path to the source is not present on my system but setting it first and then loading the config file still crashes. After I set the path I get the following error displayed in the main panel of the KDE Control Center: The kernel configuration could not be read due to the following error: cannot open /usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.4.14//arch//config.in for readingEither your kernel sources contain invalid configuration rules or you just found a bug in the KDE Kernel Configurator.

Created attachment 333 [details] Backtrace
Hi, I currently experience the same problem as Ivan is having. Happens after loading a .config file from /usr/src/2.4.19 or when loading a copied version of this .config file. When selecting the file I get the preview and just after clicking ok kernel configurator closes giving me the following output: The application KDE Control Module (kcmshell) crashed and caused the signal 11. Attached you can also find my backtrace. Greetings, Wim Toremans bugzilla@wimmeke.com Brussels, Belgium
Can you either provide the config files, or rebuild and provide a backtrace with debugging symbols please? I cannot reproduce this with 2.4.19 source.
No response from reporter for more than a year. Neither george nor I can reproduce it.
