Bug 371298 – sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.10.907 comes with error on compile modules when use command 'genkernel all' and gives errors for kernel-2.6.38-6

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Gert Andersen 2011-06-12 19:36:28 UTC]

genkernel fails compile kernel modules by compile modules for kernel and initramfs 2.6.38-r6. (done by minimal install cdrom for new install.)
I have run emerge gentoo-sources - emerge genkernel and zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/kernel-config.
Thne finally 'genkernel all'. And this 5 times to do it all with new latest stage3 and portage-latest. And it is the same result with error failed to compile all and lit of modules. In my make.conf have I the things right after the handbook but is used kernel 2.6.34-r5, MAKEOPTS="-j2" ..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge genkernel
2. genkernel all
3. 4-5 times
Actual Results:  
The actula results shoudl be that all modules is make and compiled without and be finished for i686 stage3 and make all thing but no initramfs is make and should genkernal all have done without errors and failed messages.

The results by genkernel all now is:
Warning warning -faled to make oldconfig by all and lot more.

Expected Results:  
The expected results shoudl have been finished compile kernel, modules and initramfs. So there is a good finished kernel and initramfs 2.6.38.r6

The last have compiled it fine and weill done ready to use.

As this is install without a running kernel and linux so ca there not come a emerge.info here.

Can you post error logs?  Without error logs there is not much we can do.  I suppose this is about genkernel 3.4.10.907?  Is /usr/src/linux pointing to full kernel sources?

First  : I'm a complete noob when it comes to gentoo , but I can confirm this on my amd64 platform , found a similar reference in bug number 341943.

"genkernel all"   breaks on :

* busybox: >> Applying patches...
* busybox: >> Configuring...
COMMAND: make -j5 CC="gcc" LD="ld" AS="as" 
Makefile:405: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.10.907[0m
* Running with options: all
* KERNEL_ARCH=x86

* ERROR: Failed to compile the "oldconfig" target...

Unfortunately I do not know yet how to apply the suggested patch from bugreport 341943 ...

The patch should be placed at

/usr/share/genkernel/patches/busybox/1.7.4/1.7.4-make-3.82.diff

After that busybox should compile fine.

Yes , it did ...!

Thnks , so it's an issue with genkernel or with busybox ?

You solved the compilation , now it's on to the rest of the handbook for me ...

I am closing this as a duplicate of bug #341943 then.
Gert, if you disagree on that please feel free to re-open.

Any out of genkernel, busybox, make - depends on your view.

Good luck.
