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. * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.7 * Running with options: initrd * Linux Kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 for x86... * initramfs: >> Initializing... * >> Creating base_layout cpio archive... * >> Creating auxilary cpio archive... * >> Creating busybox cpio archive... * >> Creating udev cpio archive... * >> Creating insmod cpio archive... * >> Creating modules cpio archive... * >> Installing gensplash [ using the default theme ]... * 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-075.cpio.gz * initramfs-modules-2.6.14-gentoo-r2.cpio.gz * initramfs-splash-2.6.14-gentoo-r2.cpio.gz cp: cannot stat `/var/tmp/genkernel/initramfs-2.6.14-gentoo-r2': No such file or directory * ERROR: Could not copy the initramfs to /boot! * -- Grepping log... -- * initramfs-modules-2.6.14-gentoo-r2.cpio.gz * initramfs-splash-2.6.14-gentoo-r2.cpio.gz * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.7 * Running with options: initrd * ERROR: Could not copy the initramfs to /boot! * -- End log... -- * Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any * errors that were reported above. * Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and * assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org.
