I use the genkernel to compile my kernel. With the sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r1 I want to compile my kernel so that the option Device manager>RAID and LVM>Mirror support is off (DM_MIRROR=n). No matter what I choose in menuconfig, when it saves the configuration it always puts DM_MIRROR=m. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Invoke menuconfig with genkernel all 2. Use my .config (attached) where DM_MIRROR=n 3. Save the config from menuconfig and exit menuconfig to start the compile. Actual Results: ca@home ~ $ sudo genkernel --no-clean all Password: * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.10.906 * Running with options: --no-clean all * Linux Kernel 2.6.34-gentoo-r1 for x86... * config: --no-clean is enabled; leaving the .config alone. * config: >> Invoking menuconfig... # # configuration written to .config # *** End of Linux kernel configuration. *** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'. * ERROR: Failed to compile the "prepare" target... * -- Grepping log... -- Mirror target (DM_MIRROR) [M/n/y/?] m Mirror userspace logging (EXPERIMENTAL) (DM_LOG_USERSPACE) [N/m/?] (NEW) aborted!

A workaround is to first configure the kernel with menuconfig, save that, let the error message happen. Then edit the .config manually, find the line DM_MIRROR=m and change it to =n, save. Re-run the genkernel --no-clean all, this time not changing anything in the menuconfig and exit menuconfig with <esc><esc> (i.e. not saving anything). Then the compile starts as usual. I'll upload my .config, my genkernel.conf and the genkernel log file as attachments. emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/gnome, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r1

Created attachment 241287 [details] Kernel .config that I want to use. (DM_MIRROR=n is edited manually.) Load this with menuconfig and then save it with menuconfig and DM_MIRROR is m.

Not a bug. If you select LVM support, we enforce having BLK_DEV_DM, DM_SNAPSHOT, DM_MIRROR, available so that LVM can be brought up reliably.
OK I understand. Could you then also assume something for: Mirror userspace logging (EXPERIMENTAL) (DM_LOG_USERSPACE) [N/m/?] (NEW) aborted! Because otherwise the build stops there after menuconfig.
