Hi, For quite a year don't use genkernel any more due to errors while using it, certainly my faults, but as it was easier to do a manual compile, just tried genkernel from time to time. So much as prehistory. Using ~x86 & hardened. The first error was something about "can't unpack dietlibs", fixed by copying dietlibs from /var/portage/distfiles to /usr/share/genkernel/pkg dir - from ML-archive. File sizes was different, same version. Haven't done a diff, sorry. Later (today) tried genkernel again, this time got an udev-error,see logs below. ... if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.11-grsec; fi * Copying config for successful build to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.11-grsec * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.1.1b[0m * ERROR: Could not extract udev tarball * -- Grepping log... -- * -- End log... -- * Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any * errors that were reported above. * Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and * assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org.

Seems to be a problem with tar options/fs-permissions, will report anything new.

this happens when using star it doesn't like the "-" in -jxpf just jxpf works ok though
Hi, Now tried 'genkernel' in a non-hardened system, all is sane again. Most likely (90% IMO) the culpit was 'star' and it's options to unpack. As now i don't have any problems will close this bug. Thanks. Rumen
