Description Charles Christie 2005-11-15 15:17:56 UTC

it fails. That's all I could decipher on my own, aside from "failed to compile
modules target."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install with the gentoo-sources
2.wait a very long time
3.

Actual Results:  
Ahem:
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.6[0m
* Running with options: all --no-bootsplash

* [1mERROR:[00m [1mFailed[00m to compile the "modules" target...

[32;01m*[0m -- End log... --

[32;01m*[0m Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any
[32;01m*[0m errors that were reported above.

[32;01m*[0m Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and
[32;01m*[0m assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org. Please include
[32;01m*[0m as much information as you can in your bug report; attaching
[32;01m*[0m /var/log/genkernel.log so that your issue can be dealt with
effectively.
[32;01m*[0m 
[32;01m*[0m Please do *not* report compilation failures as genkernel bugs!
[32;01m*[0m 
Exception received:
KernelBuildError :FATAL: build_kernel: Could not build kernel!
Please submit a bug report (after searching to make sure it's not a known issue
and verifying you didn't do something stupid) with the contents of
/var/log/install.log and /tmp/installprofile.xml


Expected Results:  
compiled the kernel. (do I always have to answer this question?)

This isn't an installer bug. It also isn't a genkernel bug (or atleast they'd
like you to think that :P). Compile failures happen. If you happened to grab the
/var/log/genkernel.log from the chroot like the genkernel error said, we may be
able to tell you why the compile failed.

The 'Expected results' thing is a generic bugzilla feature, and not necessarily
relevant to the installer. I don't think it would keep you from filing the bug
if you left it blank.
