it's me again... ;-) Thus genkernel does not make use of th "unionfs (~x86) ebuild" it is needed to "patch/upgrade" the kernel-source-dir manually (even when unionfs-ebuild has been used before). Only after adding "unionfs-src" to the kernel-src-dir (see patch-kernel.sh within unionfs-src-tarball) the gentoo compile_unionfs_modules will succeed otherwise it will fail because "no rule to make target (unionfs.ko)". But if you'll have a closer look into unionfs's src-tarball's INSTALL and Makefile: "... You should be able to just type "make" and Unionfs will build itself for the running kernel. The Makefile will look for your running kernel sources in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include. If your kernel sources are located in a different directory, create a "fistdev.mk" file along the lines of: LINUXSRC=/path/to/my/kernel/sources/linux-2.6.xx TOPINC=-I$(LINUXSRC)/include MODDIR=/lib/modules/2.6.xx You must set all three variables together, otherwise you can have problems compiling, installing, or loading the module. ..." ==> So I changed the compile_unionfs_modules() function within gen_compile.sh a little bit to make compilation of unionfs into inird independent from manually inserting "unionfs-src and Makefiles" into Kernel-Src before. ==> Another advantage is: I use unionfs-ebuild which installes unionfs.ko into: "/lib/modules/VERSION/fs" instead of "/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/fs" (<-- this second point is perhabs a "bug" in unionfs-ebuild but I'm not sure) ==> thus my fix only changes the behavior of gen_compile (initrd-creation) the unionfs (x86) ebuild is not affected and has still to be applied to get unionfs-support in a booted environment. But now there are not two (nearly the same, beacuse unionfs-ebuild more current patches) modules within the /lib/modules/ path --- gen_compile.sh.orig 2006-04-14 07:51:41.000000000 +0000 +++ gen_compile.sh 2006-04-14 07:54:35.000000000 +0000 @@ -333,6 +333,7 @@ cd "${UNIONFS_DIR}" print_info 1 'unionfs modules: >> Compiling...' echo "LINUXSRC=${KERNEL_DIR}" >> fistdev.mk + echo 'TOPINC=-I$(LINUXSRC)/include' >> fistdev.mk echo "MODDIR= /lib/modules/${KV}" >> fistdev.mk echo "KERNELVERSION=${KV}" >> fistdev.mk # Fix for hardened/selinux systems to have extened attributes @@ -346,13 +347,11 @@ if [ "${PAT}" -ge '6' ] then - # Setup the kernel sources to compile modules - cd ${KERNEL_DIR} - compile_generic "modules_prepare" kernel - cd "${TEMP}" cd "${UNIONFS_DIR}" - compile_generic unionfs.ko kernel + #Compile unionfs module within the unionfs + #environment not within the kernelsrc dir + make unionfs.ko else gen_die 'unionfs is only supported on 2.6 targets' fi genkernel output without the above modifications: -- COMMAND: make -j2 CC="gcc" LD="ld" AS="as" modules_prepare Makefile:532: /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1/arch/x86/Makefile: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1/arch/x86/Makef ile'.

just wanted to mention the genkernel-version used: 3.3.11c
Fixed in 3.3.11d, thanks! Please attach your patches to bugs in the future, Bugzilla has a habit of eating whitespace.
