(In reply to comment #0) > making symlink ppc -> powerpc in arch/ just work. Can you elaborate on this please?
i see the problem. We have a bunch of checks in gen_arch for the kernel version, matching on 2.6.
fixed in commit 3d7de35, please test.
Re-opening so people find this bug before we have a new release. I hope this is in your interest. Thanks for the patch!
(In reply to comment #3) > fixed in commit 3d7de35, please test. FYI, I tried 9999 and ITJUSTWORKS(tm). # w/ 3.0 radeon KMS driver looks broken to me, though it's irrelevant for this bug.
genkernel 3.4.18 including the fix has been released, closing.
