Description Paul Taylor 2005-11-22 13:33:28 UTC
Output from "genkernel initrd" shown below; "genkernel all" fails with the same
error.  /var/log/genkernel.log doesn't provide any further information.

The only change I made to /etc/genkernel.conf (using etc-update) is to replace
'BOOTSPLASH="yes"' with 'GENSPLASH="yes"'; this worked fine with genkernel-3.3.6
and earlier.
