Bugzilla Bug 124666

there is something faulty with our latest gentoo-kernel ... when it compiled i
had a crippled mm folder, containing some .mempolicy.o.d file, which obviously
should be a .mempolicy.o.cmd, thus resulting in:

CHK     include/linux/version.h
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CHK     usr/initramfs_list
  GZIP    kernel/config_data.gz
  IKCFG   kernel/config_data.h
  CC      kernel/configs.o
  LD      kernel/built-in.o
  CC      mm/mempolicy.o

Appears to be missing patch from

Certainly it _builds_ once I add that...

log file for 2.6.15-r6

Thanks. Fixed in 2.6.15-r7 (genpatches-2.6.15-10)

thank you for your hint, Malcolm ... but i am afraid that we are missing more
then one patch here!

after inspecting your trunk page for our 2.6.15 series, i have decided to
attach the above log file for your sore eyes, dear Daniel!

Anything else i can do ... ?

forgive me ... i did not recognize any new entry whilst fiddling with the
commit button!

thank you for your prompt & propper response, Daniel!

Is that the full log? Looks like a separate bug if it is installing nothing.
Also don't understand how that can be the case when it obviously worked
earlier, hence the bug report. Are you out of disk space?

yes, it is the full log report, which is generated by portage & written to
var/log/portage ... you have made me suspicious: should there be more
information?

no, i am not running out of space ... 'df -h' says:

shm                  1006M     0 1006M   0% /dev/shm

The log file you posted in comment #2 suggests that no files are being
installed. Is that the case, or is the log file just missing lots of
information?

In other words, I'm still not entirely sure what you are/were trying to point
out by posting the log.

i am confused: none of my log files are showing more information, then the one
that i have contributed ... they are always ending with the line '>>> Completed
installing ... ' full stop! i think you have either found another bug or my log
configs are faulty ... although i do not know what it could be?!

my intention was to show you what really got patched ... at that state i had no
idea about some crippeled installation logging! so, thank you for this serious
warning ... and please help me solving this problem! btw until your remark i
thought that the log files for previously installed ebuilds, i.e. unmerged
packages, where *empty* by design?! doh ...

I have never seen portage logs before. They are probably working as expected.

Are there any patches missing?

dmesg for 2.6.15-r7

i have emerged 2.6.15-r7, please see the latest *crippled* log file attached
... seems good, this time!

i have also made a copy of my dmesg file running 2.6.15-r7 ... smooth & rock
stable so far, no problems, thanks again!

btw, while i am deeply concerned about this non-logging feature of portage, i
have made a new bug entry at: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124817 ...
you may wish to throw an eye on it.
