This guide focuses on resolving compilation errors encountered when integrating KernelSU into a Xiaomi Poco F Pro running kernel version 5.10.226. We'll analyze a common error message and provide troubleshooting steps.

**Identified Issue**

During the KernelSU compilation process, the following error message appears:

```
drivers/Kconfig:238: can't open file "drivers/kernelsu/Kconfig"
```

This error indicates that the make process cannot locate the config file for the kernelsu driver.

**Troubleshooting Steps**

1. **Verify KernelSU Directory:** Ensure that the KernelSU source files are placed correctly within the device's kernel source tree. The `drivers/kernelsu` directory with its `Kconfig` file should be present and accessible.
2. **Check File Permissions:** Make sure the `Kconfig` file and its parent directories have the appropriate read permissions for the user running the compilation process. Incorrect permissions can prevent make from accessing the file.
3. **Incomplete Download/Extraction:** If you downloaded KernelSU source, verify that the download was complete and that the archive was extracted successfully. A missing file could lead to this error.
4. **Typographical Errors:** Double-check the path specified in the KernelSU source code that references the `Kconfig` file. Ensure there are no typos or spacing errors.
5. **Outdated Kernel Source:** Sometimes, compilation issues arise due to compatibility problems between the KernelSU source and the kernel version in your device tree. Consult the KernelSU documentation for supported kernels and updates if necessary.
6. **Kernel Configuration (if applicable):** Depending on your kernel configuration, you might need additional steps. Refer to the KernelSU documentation for instructions specific to your device and kernel version.

**Log Analysis**

The log message you provided (`drivers/Kconfig:238: can't open file"drivers/kernelsu/Kconfig"`) provides a clue: the kernel build system is trying to find KernelSU's configuration file but can't locate it. This confirms the need to revisit the file path and permissions.

**Next Steps**

Carefully review the aforementioned troubleshooting steps. If the issue persists, provide the following information for further assistance:

* The location of your KernelSU source files within the kernel tree
* The contents of the relevant kernel config files (e.g., `drivers/Kconfig`, `/home/keosh/mondrian/rising/kernel/xiaomi/sm8450/Kconfig`)
* Any error messages encountered during build

By providing more context, we can assist you more effectively in resolving the KernelSU compilation issue on your Xiaomi Poco F Pro.
