Description Michael Rossi 2006-03-03 00:34:28 UTC 
I received this error when I ran the command 'genkernel all':

* ERROR: Failed to compile the "bzImage" target...

I had used livecd-i686-installer-2006.0
I had used portage-latest.tar.bz2
I had used stage3-x86-2006.0.tar.bz2
I was just following the Installation Handbook step by step and received no prior errors during the process.

What exact kernel version are you using?

Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-04 03:41:48 UTC 
Sounds like your kernel source is slightly corrupted. Please attach the file found at fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_iops.c in your kernel tree.

The file in question
Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-04 13:11:54 UTC 
This line:
	vnode_t		*dvp;	/* directory containing name of symlink (/

Should read:
	vnode_t		*dvp;	/* directory containing name of symlink */

Did you modify this file yourself? The original version is OK...

Please wipe out your kernel source and try again.
Comment 6 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-06 15:31:51 UTC 
Assuming it is fixed. Note that this kind of corruption suggests hardware issues (disk or memory, usually) so watch out for any other strange behaviour...
