Description Richard Scott 2009-05-28 13:00:40 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #263464 +++

I get a grep error with genkernel when configure a brand new kernel:

* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.10.904
* Running with options: --slowusb --lvm

grep: /usr/src/linux/.config: No such file or directory
* Linux Kernel 2.6.28-hardened-r4 for x86...
* kernel: >> Running mrproper...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge a new kernel
2. emerge =sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.10.904
3. run genkernel --menuconfig all

and see it error as there is no /usr/src/linux/.config file available.

oops, forgot to change the subject line as this is for genkernel-3.4.10.904

1. please attach your /etc/genkernel.conf file.
2. Does genkernel stop after the mrproper line, or does it continue?

Created attachment 192836 [details]
genkernel.conf in use.

This file is the default genkernel.conf file that you get with a fresh install of genkernel on a fresh system. I've not edited it.

You didn't answer question #2.

oops, sorry :-(

Genkernel works fine, it just shows up an error when /usr/src/linux/.config is not there

I've noticed that this package has just gone stable... even with this open bug!

Such a shame as now everyone will see the bug and maybe report it too ;-)

It's a harmless "error". The stabilization was necessary for 2.6.29 to go stable on sparc.

There's a fix now on the experimental branch exposed by genkernel-99999 (five nines):
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=dfddd742bda34ceea56b494675ca17754c8bdff2

Please report back if it works for you.
If I do not hear anything in two weeks, I may close this bug.
