should be e2fsprogs 1.40.9 and 1.41.9. There's support for the busybox findfs applet inside linuxrc, so if we update busybox (bug 310785) to a version that supports findfs then blkid is no longer needed. I've tested with findfs from busybox-1.16.0 and it was able to find a btrfs partition. @robbat2, what about growing VERSION_E2FSPROGS to 1.41.9 inside the ebuild? findfs support could be added in a more relaxed way. Let me know if you need any help with genkernel, I've been maintaining my custom version for years (In reply to comment #3) > @robbat2, what about growing VERSION_E2FSPROGS to 1.41.9 inside the ebuild? The last time I tried bumping the version I had to patch gen_compile.sh to remove the --with-ldopts=-static option and instead set LDFLAGS=-static (--with-ldopts option was no longer supported).

Excellent, that means we can easily modify the genkernel ebuild and close this bug. I guess --with-ldopts was removed in a later version than 1.41.9. lxnay: do you have your genkernel changes in a local git repo somewhere that I can pull from? genkernel was previously hosted on an external box, but with that box going away soon, I think I'm going to move the repo back to git.overlays.g.o. http://gitweb.sabayon.org/?p=overlay.git;a=tree;f=sys-kernel/genkernel;hb=HEAD Patches explanation: - genkernel-crypt-config.patch: include all necessary kernel mods to make cryptsetup working with every encryption type - genkernel-3.4.11-aufs-slowusb.patch: add aufs support and remove duplicated sleep call when slowusb is enabled - genkernel-3.4.11-partial-fix-to-console-arg.patch: make fbsplash happy by automatically converting console=/dev/tty1 into console=tty1 - genkernel-3.4.11-sdelay-compat.patch: on some hardware, sleeping 1 second to wait for CD is not enough. 3 seconds is much safer. The experimental branch exposed by genkernel-99999 (five nines) now uses e2fsprogs 1.41.14. Please report back how it works for you. This patch is related: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=dd18912193862212586ad73141f61829f70dbf3e If I do not hear anything, I may close this bug in two weeks. I emerged genkernel-3.4.16 (it uses e2fsprogs-1.41.14) with ~x86 keyword and it works fine now. |
