Description Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-08 15:41:37 UTC 
When I had /usr/src/linux linked to an uncompiled kernel because I was in the 
midst of switching sources, pcmcia-cs had a sandbox violation complaining 
about lack of a symlink from asm-i386 to asm. Log below. I'm not sure if this 
is really a bug (heh, consider it a feature), considering that symlink would 
exist if there were a compiled kernel. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Link /usr/src/linux to new, uncompiled sources 
2. Try to emerge pcmcia-cs 
3. Fails because symlink's missing 
Actual Results:  
Failed. 

Expected Results:  
Magically discovered the correct link? Or maybe failed too.

Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-09 13:54:47 UTC 
Perhaps instead of assuming /usr/src/linux, it should link to running kernel, e.g. /usr/src/`uname -r`. Maybe stay consistent with how alsa-driver, xfree-drm, and similar things work.
Comment 3 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-09 14:02:13 UTC 
I'll look into adding a check for a compiled kernel in /usr/src/linux. as for the second parg, Gentoo policy with kernel stuff is to look in /usr/src/linux for whatever sources stuff should compile against. reasons for this include not having to reboot to compile modules for other kernels you might be using, among other things.
Comment 4 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-08 10:37:00 UTC 
Marking closed. You definitely should be using a /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to something configured (and maybe even compiled before).
