Description Al Guyer 2004-12-23 16:01:39 UTC 
When running genkernel all, had fatal error: 

ERROR: Error: No kernel .config specified, or file not found!

/usr/share/genkernel/gen_configkernel.sh did not set KERNEL_CONFIG.

/usr/share/genkernel/ppc/ is missing kernel-config. It looks like genkernel needs additional search params for the various flavors of PPC.

-al

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.ppc 2004.3 livecd stage3 install
2.emerge genkernel
3.emerge gentoo-dev-sources
4. genkernel all
Actual Results:  
ERROR: Error: No kernel .config specified, or file not found!

Expected Results:  
kernel compile

Comment 2 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-30 07:23:05 UTC 
It is not possible to make one default configuration due to the hardware differences in the PPC architecture according to the PPC team, so instead you should use the --kernel-config=/usr/share/genkernel/ppc/<file> option for choosing a kernel configuration.
