genkernel fails on my system when compiling a 2.4.x kernel. Aparently genkernel wants to compile udev, which is (AFAIK) a 2.6 thing. The compile (and thus genkernel) fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gento-sources 2. genkernel Actual Results: Compile fails... # Genkernel Configuration File # ===========GENKERNEL BASIC CONFIGURATION============= # Run 'make menuconfig' before compiling this kernel?

Downgrading genkernel to 3.0.2 solved the problem so far... So it seems it is specific to the most recent version(s).
Created attachment 37725 [details, diff] Patch to build udev only if a 2.6 kernel is built. Could you try this patch with genkernel-3.0.2e ? It should build udev only if a 2.6 kernel is built.
Fixed in 3.0.2f; please reopen this bug if you have any problems with it. Thanks! [ Sidenote: Mathias, I patched the issue slightly differently and marked the bug as InCVS. Thanks for your patch anyway. ]
thx for this bug fix. I add trouble ungrading from 2.4 to 2.6 (with genkernel) due to a udev compiling problem. Now it's working perfectly great work !
