Bugzilla Bug 186654

Clean up a bogus and cosmetic error introduced by the symlink patch:
${GK_SHARE}/gen_funcs.sh: line 431: popd:
/var/tmp/genkernel/3996.6301.23048.13838/initramfs-modules-${KV}-temp: No such
file or directory

This patch doesn't even make sense to me. How does changing to that directory
before trying to remove it with the full path help anything?

Existing code in gen_initramfs.sh:

append_modules() first:
First the existing code takes us into a directory
  cd "${TEMP}/initramfs-modules-${KV}-temp/"
Then it makes the cpio
  find . | cpio ${CPIO_ARGS} --append -F "${CPIO}"
Now the directory gets removed
  rm -r "${TEMP}/initramfs-modules-${KV}-temp/"
At this point you are in the directory that was just removed.
popd will give you an error unless you go to somewhere that does exist.

You are in the non-existent directory, you run pushd /boot, and then run popd
afterwards, and it spews the error.

Thus error is triggered via copy_image_with_preserve (gen_funcs.sh):
  pushd ${BOOTDIR} >/dev/null
  ...
  popd >/dev/null

Ah, I see. I misunderstood where the error was coming from. I assumed it was
when the directory was removed. That's what I get for assuming :)

Please test genkernel 3.4.9_prer1 or better.  This should be fixed now.

I'm still seeing this in sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.10_pre9.

as far as I see, the "harmless error" is still there.
