Bug 210457 – sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.10_pre2: /etc/initrd.scripts syntax error

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Paul Taylor 2008-02-17 12:42:04 UTC]

After building gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r2 with genkernel-3.4.10-r2, booting fails with the following error:

/init: /etc/initrd.scripts: 936: Syntax error: Bad substitution

After reverting to genkernel-3.4.9, it works fine.
