Description Dmitri 2009-07-14 06:32:00 UTC 
Disabled option "CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING" in "/usr/src/.config" breake emerge with "permission denied" message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING
2. compile new kernel
3. reboot with new kernel
4. emerge -pv world (virtually anything)

Actual Results:  
similar to bug#262281
http://bugs.gentoo.org/262281

Expected Results:  
1. give a message to rebuild the kernel with proper settings
2. handbook should be updated in section of
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part1_chap7

perhaps the hanbook for other architectures should be updated as well

This is enabled by default in the kernel config. If it's marked "N", you did it yourself. User error; closing.
