Linux kernel 2.6.14 includes support for FUSE. I've built it into the kernel and module support is disabled. With this configuration I can't emerge sys-fs/ fuse. Removing "inherit linux-mod" from ebuild solves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use 2.6.14, enable FUSE, disable module support 2. emerge sys-fs/fuse Actual Results: emerge stops with an error, it misses module support in the kernel.

From `emerge sys-fs/fuse` (~x86 version, but the same check is present in latest stable as well, iirc): * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.14-gentoo * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options: * We have detected FUSE already built into the kernel. We will continue, but we wont build the module this time. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. >>> Unpacking source... Works fine with siefs. I'd suggest RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
well, jkt you are right but the issue here is different. Linux-info behaves wrong here.
To make shure everybody understands what I'm steaking about: * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options: * We have detected FUSE already built into the kernel. We will continue, but we wont build the module this time. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. This part is ok. * These sources do not support loading external modules. * to be able to use this module please enable "Loadable modules support" * in your kernel, recompile and then try merging this module again. That is what causes the problem. emerge aborts after this message.
johnm: any progress with this?
if im going to be strict over this, I would suggest splitting the fuse ebuild into fuse-utils and fuse-kernel or some such, since technically speaking linux-mod is doing the correct thing by exiting when it cannot confirm module support. However, that being said, if you think this is a valid problem for now I would suggest re-defining pkg_setup as follows: pkg_setup() { linux-info_pkg_setup; check_kernel_built; set_kvobj; } If you prefer, throw the question/bug to gentoo-kernel@ and we can bash it out to come up with a finer solution.
