I just did a check on my system, with a newly-emerged genkernel-3.4.16 and gentoo-sources-2.6.39-r3 .. my arch is x86 instead of amd64, though, but it completed fine. Is it possible that you are using a modified /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/kernel-config file? ie, not the one that genkernel installed but one you copied or zcat'ed from the gentoo livecd?
Yep, I zcat a kernel config from the livecd because the manual say I have to do that I use the rescuecd for installing gentoo
If you remove path to initramfs from config, you will be fine. Although genkernel should do it by itself, shouldn't it? On no objections, I'll fix it.
(In reply to comment #4) > If you remove path to initramfs from config, you will be fine. Although > genkernel should do it by itself, shouldn't it? On no objections, I'll fix it. Do I understand you correctly that you want to remove CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE from config unconditionally? In this case, I would like to object as I have set there the path to v86d initramfs which would be ignored.
Option or when initgrated-initramfs is on. And check + friendly info that initrd file doesn't exist as a fallback.
oke, What must I now do to make it work with Systemrescuecd ? Roelof
Just remove the path from CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.
Oke, And that don't intefer with the next step of the handbook. Making a initramfs ?
No. If you will use --intergrated-initramfs option, Genkernel will fill this option with appropriate value, otherwise it will be left empty which is ok.
Hello, That problem did not appear and it's solved. But now I see another message appear. I will attached the new genkernel.log Roelof

(In reply to comment #3) > Yep, > > I zcat a kernel config from the livecd because the manual say I have to do that > I use the rescuecd for installing gentoo I would like to note that if this step is skipped, the (original) error does not occur. I had a few ppl in #gentoo try this for me and confirm. IMO, this bug is primarily there because of that step in the handbook; the genkernel package already installs default kernel_config files for each arch, what is the reason they need to be overwritten during the install from livecd?
I worked with the original poster to resolve the file copying issue; it had to do with a full /boot. I'm closing this one as RESOLVED/INVALID since it didn't end up being a genkernel bug at all.
