I'm installing Gentoo on an iMac PowerMac 8,1 with OpenRC. Uname: Linux livecd 6.12.21-gentoo-ppc64-ppc #1 SMP Thu Apr 24 04:50:56 UTC 2025 ppc64 PPC970FX, altivec supported PowerMac8,1 GNU/Linux. I'm configuring the kernel with genkernel and I can build the kernel itself just fine, but it will fail on the initramfs step. This is on a cd burned with a very recent version of the ppc/ppc64 minimal live cd. In particular, it seems when busybox is being built/stripped, it will fail. I've installed busybox from the repos successfully. Busybox from repos is version 1.36.1-r3 with only the `pam` use flag enabled. Busybox from genkernel is 1.36.1 (unsure if -r3) Attaching genkernel.log.
Created attachment 927381 [details] genkernel conf This was after I tried running genkernel with default values, same thing occured.
Created attachment 927382 [details] kernel configuration Kernel configuration file, made by running 'make g5_defconfig' in the linux src folder before making some modifications and then running genkernel on it.
