i hope this is not related to faulty userspace interaction (read: myself). # genkernel --kernel-config=/usr/share/genkernel/ppc/G4 --genzimage all [..] * Merging initramfs-base-layout.cpio.gz initramfs-aux.cpio.gz initramfs-busybox-1.00-rt-mdstart.plasmaroo.cpio.gz initramfs-insmod-0.9.15-pre4.cpio.gz initramfs-udev-054.cpio.gz initramfs-modules-2.6.12-gentoo-r6.cpio.gz cp: cannot stat `/var/tmp/genkernel/9317.12726.11168.27183/initramfs-2.6.12-gent oo-r6': No such file or directory * >> Compiling 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 vmlinux... * >> Starting supplimental compile of 2.6.12-gentoo-r6: zImage.initrd... * ERROR: Failed to compile the "zImage.initrd" target... * -- Grepping log... -- make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
