Bug 30728 – genkernel-1.8 has wrong path for keys.lst and bin-keymaps.tar.gz in the tar.bz2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Tom Sullivan 2003-10-08 22:18:57 UTC]

The /usr/sbin/genkernel script expects to find the keys.lst and bin-
keymaps.tar.gz files in the /usr/share/genkernel/keymaps directory. The ebuild 
installs them in the /usr/share/genkernel directory. This causes an error 
during the kernel build process due to the files not found.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run genkernel. Make sure that logging is working.
2. Observe file not found error accessing keys.lst and bin-keymaps.tar.gz
3.

Actual Results:  
initrd built without the keys.lst and bin-keymaps.tar.gz files. The error 
occurs on lines 201 and 202 of the /usr/sbin/genkernel script.

Expected Results:  
Should have found the files and built them into the initrd.

A temporary fix is to mkdir the /usr/share/genkernel/keymaps directory and 
place the files keys.lst and bin-keymaps.tar.gz in it.

The error is only reported in the log file, the script continues as if nothing
wrong happened.
