Join Date May 2004 Location Pennsylvania (USA) Posts 12 Problem with genkernel all fail Thank to the forums I was able to get past my emerge genkernel-sources problem i was able to edit my make.conf and have it do the genkernel- sources. from there I was able to emerge genkernel. now this is where the new twist comes up. I go to "genkernel all" as the handbook says and get the following error: grep /usr/src/linux/Makefile: no such file or directory grep /usr/src/linux/Makefile: no such file or directory grep /usr/src/linux/Makefile: no such file or directory grep /usr/src/linux/Makefile: no such file or directory * Compiling Linux Kernel .. for x86 *ERROR:Error: No Kernel Config Specified, or file not found! *--Grepping Log..-- *Gentoo Linux Genkernel: Version 3.0.2a *ERROR:Error: No Kernel Config Specified, or file not found! *--END LOG-- Any ideas as to how I screwed up this time??

Code: emerge -av sys-kernel/gentoo-sources Do this and it will install the kernel source in your /usr/src/linux/ directory Code: cd /usr/src/linux Code: genkernel all I recommend that you dont use the genkernel utility.. it is far better to configure your kernel manualy. It is not hard - all you need is to know what hardware your system has.. like: motherboard chipset, s

Some points of interest: Most http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/8531-problem-genkernel-all-fail.html Funtoo Linux kernels support the handy binary USE flag, described below. Funtoo Linux offers quality kernels from other Linux Distributions, like debian-sources. A detailed Kernel Features and Stability table can be found below. Advanced users may want to take a look at Additional Kernel Resources. There is a quick'n dirty howto to compile your own kernel with initramfs the funtoo way. Overview of Kernels Package:Vanilla Sources, Package:Vanilla Sources/pt-br http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Kernels This will install the "vanilla" (unmodified) Linux kernel sources. Current recommended version is 3.x. Funtoo Linux fully supports Linux 3.x. The advantages of this kernel include recent improvements to Linux Containers, a very modern networking stack with lots of bug fixes, and high reliability for desktops and servers. The downside is that this kernel must be manually configured by the user and does not have built-in genkernel support via the binary USE flag at this time. sys-kernel/gentoo-sources (package not on wiki - please add) This kernel tree is based on stable kernels from kernel.org with genpatches applied genpatches. Gentoo patchset aims to support the entire range of Gentoo-supported architectures. List of available genpatched kernels: genpatches-kernels sys-kernel/openvz-rhel6-stable (package not on wiki - please add) This is a RHEL6-based kernel with OpenVZ support. This kernel is now the preferred kernel for production OpenVZ deployments. It requires gcc-4.4.5 to build, which it will use automatically without the user needing to use gcc-config. We use this version of gcc since this is the version of gcc used by Red Hat to build this kernel. Package:Debian-sources, Package:Debian-sources/pt-br This is the Debian kernel. These ebuilds now support the binary USE flag. Daniel has added a special config-extract command which can

Now, does genkernel mean absolute /usr/src/linux ? If not, then what option to set for it to know where the sources are to be found? The template spec genkernel error kernel file does mention: # This option sets genkernel parameters on a per-kernel basis and applies only # to this kernel label. This can be used for building options into only a # single kernel, where compatibility may be an issue. Since we do not use this # on the official release media, it is left blank, but it follows the same # syntax as stage4/gk_mainargs. # example: # boot/kernel/gentoo/gk_kernargs: Should it be set at: boot/kernel/gentoo/gk_kernargs: --kerneldir=/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/portage/portage/sys-kernel/rt-sources But it seems to me that catalyst won't see it because it is an absolute path.

performing any of the commands listed below, read through the entire article and WARNING No. 1 at the end, as it may alter what commands you use. Open a Konsole/Terminal window and use the su command to log in as the root user. A fresh installation of Sabayon won't have the required "git" command so install that: # equo install git If you have a separate boot partition, make sure it is mounted onto /boot before proceeding. For example, if the boot partition is /dev/sda3 then: # mount /dev/sda3 /boot Update portage and genkernel first, then install the newest kernel source code: # emerge --sync && layman -S # emerge genkernel # USE="sources_standalone" emerge sabayon-sources Note 1: There's no need to merge genkernel if the latest version is already installed. # eselect kernel list Note which kernel in the list you want to install. It has a number like this next to it: [x]. More than likely x = 2 [2]. Now use this number in the following command, in order to set the symlink to the new version of the kernel: # eselect kernel set x # zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/config Note 2: If you are just making some changes to the same version of kernel and rebuilding it then using the zcat command is probably appropriate. However if you are upgrading or downgrading to a different version of kernel then the zcat command is probably not appropriate. See WARNING No. 1 at the end of this article for what to do in the latter case. Do the following if you manually edited your partitions: # genkernel --kernel-config=/usr/src/config --menuconfig --splash=sabayon --disklabel --luks all Do the following if you used anaconda's automatic diskdruid or created a lvm: # genkernel --kernel-config=/usr/src/config --menuconfig --splash=sabayon --disklabel --lvm --luks all Note 3: If you get an error about an expected integer expression on line 96 of gen_funcs.sh, you will most likely need to update your config f
