When I emerge openmosix-sources-2.4.20-r5.ebuild it does not have any of the configuration options for openmosix (i.e. no CONFIG_MOSIX). If I compile and reboot with this kernel /etc/init.d/openmosix reports the error "This is not an openMosix kernel, configuration aborted". So this version doesn't appear to have the openmosix patches. I compared the source for the openmosix-sources-2.4.20-r5.ebuild and the openmosix-sources-2.4.20-r6.ebuild and it looks like (take this with a grain of salt because this is my first time at debugging an ebuild) -r5 downloads openMosix-2.4.20-3.gz but patches (or attempts to) with openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz. I believe openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz is the correct version as that is what I used to patch kernel sources from kernel.org. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge openmosix-sources-2.4.20-r5 2.genkernel --config 3. Actual Results: No configuration options for openmosix. Expected Results: Provide options for configuring openmosix behaviour Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-openmosix-1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-openmosix-1 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/var/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg kde gnome libg++ mad mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime sdl spell svga truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib alsa gdbm berkdb slang readline arts tetex tcltk java ruby mysql X gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt motif opengl mozilla ldap 3dnow aalib acl acpi dga doc emacs fbcon freetds gb gd glut guile imap informix innodb jikes maildir mbox odbc pda plotutils ppds samba sse tiff usb"
I removed openmosix-sources-2.4.20-r5 some days ago as -r6 is stable now. So i'll close this bug now. Thanks for your help!
Well, I was hoping to have a fixed r5 since it uses the openmosix version I need, openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz. Oh, well, it looks like the ebuild just patches the vanilla kernel sources from kernel.org. Which is what I did manually to get the version I needed. Thanks
