With both kenerels gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r4 and r8, I can not see any share memory, semaphores, or message queues when in my 32 bit chroot environment. Using the command 'ipcs', I get normal output when in 64 bit mode. However, if I switch to the 32bit chroot, I get 'kernel not configured' messages. Same thing happens if I run the 32 bit 'ipcs' command without changing to 32 bit chroot via 'linux32 /32chroot/usr/bin/ipcs' Booting with kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 works correctly without any other changes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 32 bit version of 'ipcs' command 2. 3. Actual Results: Recieved 'kernel not configured' messages Expected Results: Returned appropriate output similar to this: ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status 0x00000000 0 root 777 49152 1 0x00000000 32769 ed 777 196608 2 dest 0x00000000 557058 ed 600 196608 2 dest 0x00000000 589827 ed 600 393216 2 dest 0x00000000 688132 ed 600 393216 2 dest 0x00000000 720901 ed 600 196608 2 dest ------ Semaphore Arrays -------- key semid owner perms nsems ------ Message Queues -------- key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages Working version below. Only change to make it not work is switch to 2.6.8 kernel (built using same config): System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 x86_64 4 Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.6-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/share/config:/usr/kde/3.3/env:/usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://128.213.5.34/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrored.ca/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/bmg-main" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa amd64 apm arts artswrappersuid avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr crypt cups doc emacs encode esd f77 foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imlib java jikes jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww mailwrapper mikmod motif mozilla mpeg multilib nas ncurses nogcj oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflibperl pic png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell ssl tcltk tcpd truetype xml2 xmms xosd xprint xv zlib"
This issue seems to be fixed in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r1 which is now marked as stable so I think this bug can be closed.
as herbie said, this should be fixed. please reopen if it is still an issue
