Googling a little bit
List file names Linux


--- Code: ---ls /boot/config-*.ppc64le
/boot/config-5.3.16-200.fc30.ppc64le 
/boot/config-5.3.16-300.fc31.ppc64le

What's the problem here?

MauryG5:
apart from the number 200 for Fedora 30, I can't answer to tell you the truth ...

MauryG5:
Unless seeing your last line, I'm making the mistake of starting the penultimate version of the kernel which is 5.3.15, instead of directly accessing the last one which is currently 5.3.16 ... I was doing it because I feared that an error would then compromise everything and I could no longer restart as it has happened to me in the past ... If this is the problem then I use 5.3.16 and that's it ...

MauryG5:
So after thinking about it I think I understand that that line of the guide must be changed according to your installed kernel, as you pointed out to me MPC. I used instead of the line: cp /boot/config-*.ppc64le .config, the line: cp /boot/config-5.3.16-300.fc31.ppc64le .config
I realized that it varies according to the kernel in use, thanks to MPC for this clarification. This is why the system has moved forward and made me do the configuration as seen in the guide. After, however, when I am I have entered the command: $ make -j`nproc`
the system tells me that the -j argument requires a positive integer argument and I'm stuck again ... What should I do at this point?

xilinder:
The -j tells the build system how many processors the kernel should build for. Since your power9 can do 4 threads/processor slice then multiply the number of cores in your cpu by 4 and use that number. 4 cores = 16, 8cores =32.

 make -j 16  is for a 4 core power9
