Description Jean-François Richard 2005-07-13 08:56:49 UTC
Hi,

I've tried genkernel 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 to create a kernel + initramfs, using the
typical command "genkernel all".

The kernel boots, but inside the initramfs, I get a bunch of "command not found"
(or something like it)

sed -- command not found
grep -- command not found
etc.

I can get to a shell iniside the initramfs though : there is almost nothing in
/bin (busybox is there though) and there is nothing in /usr/bin.  Perhaps some
symlinks are not properly made.

Needless to say, I can't boot the system using the initramfs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Remove /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/x86 and rerun genkernel all.
