Attempting to build madwifi-driver in a chroot targetted at a different kernel than the one which is running fails. To try and make this clear my build host is running 2.4.26-gentoo-r13 while the target host will be running 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 which is what /usr/src/linux is linked to in the chroot on the build host. Looking through the output of emerge, the modules all build OK but only the first one gets installed....

Reading the Changelog that ...07 included an update to linux-mod, I tried ...06 to see what would happen - it built and installed the modules OK. I still have problems reported when I emerge -k on the target as I haven't got the kernel source there but it installs well enough. If this seems important then I can try and produce a coherent bug report for it, otherwise I can live with it.
I have a problem with madwifi-driver-0.1-pre20050106 as well. I'm using the 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 kernel.

Adding horton and solar to CC:
Ignoring further comments from Jennifer Chen (her report should be filed as unique bug) genstef/johnm: Is comment #0 due to linux-mod / convert_to_m handling pulling variables from runtime or other?
linux-info is effectively the core eclass for kernel information. It uses KERNEL_DIR to detect a directory in which to find kernel sources. KERNEL_DIR used to default to /usr/src/linux, although I have now modified this to be ${ROOT}usr/src/linux Hopefully this should solve your problem. ANother work around would have been to specify KERNEL_DIR on the command line. this also allows you to build against any sources you choose without needing to change symlinks. For example: KERNEL_DIR="/home/johnm/linux-2.6.11_rc3-bk3-johnmpatches/" emerge nvidia-kernel
Whatever it is that's been changed has fixed it for me. I was going to try setting KERNEL_DIR but something has clearly been updated by syncing since I first posted the bug so building just worked. I guess it was an eclass (I've spotted the odd barbed comments on eclasses and versioning). I still get complaints about not finding a kernel when I "emerge -k" on the target but the files seem to get put in the right places. Is anyone interested enough to want to do anything about this or shall I just ignore the complaints from emerge?
