Bug 591240 – sys-kernel/genkernel-9999: genkernel disobeying --kernel-config option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Raymond Jennings 2016-08-14 10:03:50 UTC]

Upgrading genkernel to the 9999 version (as of August 14, 2016) caused it to start disregarding the --kernel-config option and it ignores the supplied config, going straight to /etc/kernels etc.  Reverting to the stable version restored former behavior.

- What was your previous version? 
- Please provide your full --debug=5 output of genkernel (at least up to it starting to compile the kernel).

Versions:

Good: Version 3.4.52.4
Bad: Version 3.5.0.3-git

console output for misbehaving genkernel

I'm assuming you mean --loglevel=5, genkernel doesn't appear to have a --debug option.

Reproduction:

> su
# cd
(wd: /root)
# zcat /proc/config.gz > config
# genkernel --kernel-config=config all

Fixed in 3.5.0.4.
