However it doesn't copy that one. During boot, we get a message about pthread_cancel not working because libgcc_s.so is not found. Consquently evms_activate does not work. Solution: dead easy. when copying all the other librarys, copy /lib/libgcc* also, if it exists, don't error if its not there. PS, I'm currently using GCC4.1.1. however, the problem has nothing to do with that and exists with 3.4.5
hi same problem here. just apply this patch to /usr/share/genkernel/gen_initramfs.sh (and to gen_initrd.sh as well) --- gen_initramfs.sh_orig 2006-06-04 16:21:52.000000000 +0100 +++ gen_initramfs.sh 2006-06-04 15:51:52.000000000 +0100 @@ -255,7 +255,6 @@ print_info 1 ' EVMS2: Adding support...' mkdir -p ${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib cp -a /lib/ld-* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' + cp -a /lib/libgcc_s* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' cp -a /lib/libc-* /lib/libc.* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' cp -a /lib/libdl-* /lib/libdl.* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' cp -a /lib/libpthread* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!'
(In reply to comment #0) There is a problem with this line cp -a /lib/libgcc_s* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' in your proposed fix. The file does not exist in older glibc's. This would incorrectly cause a 'die'. A safer, backward compatible line, would be.. cp -a /lib/libgcc_s* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" let it fail silently on older systems --John
Or even better would be to sanity check that the files exist before copying... which is what I did... ;]

Fixed in 3.4.0_pre1, thanks.
