patch

This copies the System.map for the compiled kernel into the directory that gets
tar'd up for the minimal kernel package.

new patch

This patch should work in all circumstances. It combines the patch I emailed
you (which was successfully tested) with the logic from code higher in the
function that extracts the kernel/config from the kerncache tarball if you're
using kerncache. I double-checked that the System.map-* file it's looking for
in the tarball *does* exist in my local kerncache.

Reopening for the new patch.

This patch has been successfully tested on bender (sparc dev box) with
catalyst.

I got this error while using genkernel 3.4.8 with kernel 2.6.20-r8:

This is the error:

That's what the 2nd patch in this bug fixes.

Well, I'd InSVN this again, but you didn't remove it the first time when you
reopened the bug.  ;]

So... umm... InSVN... again...

I'm also getting a similar error as comment #8 describes:

* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.8
* Linux Kernel 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 for x86...
* Creating minimal kernel package
cp: cannot stat `/var/tmp/genkernel/System.map-2.6.21-gentoo-r4': No such file
or directory
* ERROR: Could not copy System.map for the kernel package!

Why do people continue to report that it doesn't work after it's already been
said in the bug that the issue is fixed and just waiting a new genkernel
version to be released?

------- Comment #13 From Tais P. Hansen 2007-08-08 12:25:31 0000 ------- 
I'm sorry. I read through the history and it was not clear to me that it was
still waiting on a new version of genkernel four months after the revised patch
was added. I assumed the patch might have been forgotten since 3.4.8 was
recently marked stable in portage stating it was used to build the livecds
although it still breaks building here.

hmm I am still getting this error..
is this fix? I see this patches are from April..

------- Comment #15 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-08-22 19:54:06 0000 ------- 
Please test genkernel 3.4.9_prer1 or better.  This should be fixed now.
