What I may have to do is add support for specifying multiple possible binary locations and loop through them until we find a good one. agaffney: +1 on that solution, it's going to be needed for mips too I think (along with a config option for the actual kernel filename to pick when multiple output forms are used). I just committed a fix for this to git. For sparc64, genkernel should now look for arch/sparc64/boot/image and then arch/sparc/boot/image. This is completely untested, so please be kind and do so for me ;) Just a FYI: planning to request stabling of 2.6.29 in 1 week. Might be a good idea to do a hotfix release for the stable tree, but also I'm not sure when sparc will mark 2.6.29 stable.

Workaround for me was to stop compilation with CTRL-z, create a symlink in arch from sparc to sparc64 and resume compilation. Would be nice if a fix would go into stable genkernel.

I've reverted the stabilization meanwhile. I have stabilized genkernel-3.4.10.904 for all arches. |
