Description Gert Andersen 2011-06-08 23:33:59 UTC

When I try to install a new gentoo on a empty harddisk over 500GB with latest and newest kernel 2.6.38-r6 (or younger) isn'et gentoo-sources and genkernel not working compiling the /dev sources and gives error with all the application for the /dev programs, and nothing is come in the /dev directories.
This happens both with the profiles is set to server and desktop. When try it on a x86 pc is genkernel just compile without comes with error and it just missing the files in /dev. Then tries woth a AMD K8 64bit pc comes there error with the sys dev fles compilig.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. genkernel all (x86 with cd latest stage3 and latest portage
2. genkernel al ( on a AMD K8 II BOX 64 - with the same as above)
3.
Actual Results:  
Error for the compiling sources for /DEV tools. Lot of erro for at leat 50 /dev tools.

Expected Results:  
GEnkernel shoudl have compiled it all in to the kernel and have made all the files and program in directory /dev, and have worked well.

It look lie it is only when using the latest isa files, stage3 tar.bz2 and latest-portage.tar.bz2 the error comes.
And now other program is runing other than the install og gentoo 11.0 and it is boht for x86 and AMD 64.
