Please, set your locales to C when reporting bugs; we don't want errors in random languages. Thanks.

I finally found http://anonsvn.gentoo.org/repositories/genkernel/ (where there is no tag ?) and the cvs : http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-kernel/genkernel/?hideattic=0 I will try theses.
I did a svn log, and it seems it has already been solved. So this bug might be a duplicate of #179480. I will test the last version of genkernel.
This finally works with genkernel version 3.4.9_pre2
in fact it builds correctly but I am not able to make it boot... I should do a report but I begin to waste too much time to compile my kernel. Can we have a fix on the current stable version more than a fix on the unstable one ?
sorry for may last mad comment, but it was really a pain this time to compile my kernel. In fact it was not booting because the ramdisk_size wasn't enought big. Finally I just manually edited the faulty gen_initrd.sh script accordingly to the "svn diff -c 518" : Index: trunk/gen_initrd.sh =================================================================== --- trunk/gen_initrd.sh (révision 517) +++ trunk/gen_initrd.sh (révision 518) @@ -193,7 +193,7 @@ # ret=$? # if [ ${ret} != 0 ] # then - cp /etc/lvm/lvm.conf "${TEMP}/initramfs-lvm2-temp/etc/lvm/" || + cp /etc/lvm/lvm.conf "${TEMP}/initrd-temp/etc/lvm/" || gen_die 'Could not copy over lvm.conf!' # else # gen_die 'Could not copy over lvm.conf!' @@ -215,7 +215,7 @@ || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' if [ -n "`ls /lib/libgcc_s*`" ] then - cp -a /lib/libgcc_s* "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib" \ + cp -a /lib/libgcc_s* "${TEMP}/initrd-temp/lib" \ || gen_die 'Could not copy files for EVMS2!' fi cp -a /lib/libc-* /lib/libc.* "${TEMP}/initrd-temp/lib" \
This is already fixed, then, so marking it as such.
