Bugzilla Bug 168599

I may have made some mistake here, but I cannot find out which, neither do the
forum or bugzilla contain anything in this regard. So I'm posting a bugreport,
maybe it's one after all:

I get an error when I try to build and install a kernel using genkernel.

I run genkernel as follows:
genkernel --no-menuconfig --install --bootloader=grub all

Genkernel prints out:
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.7_pre3
* Running with options: --no-menuconfig --install --bootloader=grub all

Created an attachment (id=111449) [details]
busybox-1.1.3+gentoo-no-asm-page-h.patch

This is because the new linux-headers-2.6.20-r1 doesn't have asm/page.h. The
files inside busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 need to be patched with the attached
patch somehow.

Please make this a blocker of the linux-headers tracker bug, #159304.

This doesn't actually work, though... hmmm...

Oh, yes it does. I just couldn't 'make allyesconfig', but that wasn't what
genkernel was doing. Just finished compiling gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r4 with the
busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 linked at the end. if you want to try with it,
just copy it to /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 and
retry.

http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=91176

I compiled a linux-2.6.20-gentoo on 2007-02-08 very fine with
sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.7 and I got failure since upgrade to 3.4.7_pre3, using
same source tree (I just turned on "mrproper" on to make sure), and same conf.

On same sources with same conf, reverting to 3.4.7 did not help. Break may be
due to an other upgrade that happened by the mean time ...

I did not understand what to do with patch in c2 (where to put it in portage
?), but putting http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=91176 to
/usr/share/genkernel/pkg/busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 (after archiving old one)
did help building a new kernel.

A workaround for now is to run the following before running genkernel:

ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm/page.h /usr/include/asm/

Thank you for testing it. The tarball was just the original
busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 with the patch applied. 

*** Bug 169126 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

OK.  I've fixed this in SVN.

Thanks for the patch!

Works for me; please close.

It also works for me now, I am closing this as fixed now.

In the future, leave the resolution to the maintainer.  I was planning on
holding off until it was 3.4.7 final, rather than still the _pre releases.

For people that can't wait, since this bug is still happening now with
portage-stable, try doing the following..  this will check of busybox installs
clean on your system, if so then it copies the distfile to genkernel's package
directory and updates genkernel.conf:

emerge -1 =sys-apps/busybox-1.5.1 &&
cp /usr/portage/distfiles/busybox-1.5.1* /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/ &&
sed -i -e 's/BUSYBOX_VER=".*"/BOSYBOX_VER="1.5.1"/' /etc/genkernel.conf

This isn't really an issue, since genkernel-3.4.8 was stabilized the other day.
