Please ignore and close this report. I ran genkernel with -debug options and got different result. Cannot reproduce error. I have chosen to re-open this bug since I have still not been able to complile the latest Gentoo Kernel using genkernel. This morning, I have run emerge sync and then emerge -D world but it still fails at the same place: chilly linux # genkernel --clean all GenKernel v3.0.1_beta6 * ARCH: x86 * KERNEL VER: 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 * kernel: configuring source * kernel: running mrproper * kernel: using config from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.4 * kernel: running oldconfig * kernel: running clean * kernel: Making dependencies for linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 * kernel: Starting compile of linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 bzImage * kernel: Starting compile of linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 modules * gen_die(): compile of modules failed chilly linux # read the /var/log/genkernel.log file I ran into problems that the configurator (menuconfig) allowed me to select a component having to do with netfilter... that happened to need something with QoS or other... without selecting the quality of service monitoring stuff. The log will tell you how to do it This is a duplicate of/or depends on: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34948 ok, who reopened this bug? this is freaking closed! This is in no way a genkernel issue This was reopened because the end user had a problem. I am an end user, and attempting to fix my percieved issues. problem statements and understanding the problem is part of this. genkernel is the tool for building kernels. the kernel compile failed. The user was baffeled. but the user found --debug why isnt' --debug on by default? I haven't used --debug yet but I will try it... because I haven't been able to get the kernel to compile (509)332-7697 Oh wait... The problem came back and the user reported reoppened the bug. I know there is an IRC channel, and forums... but this bugzilla seems to fit the problem a bit better. bugzilla sends email, shows lots of discussion on a page (unlike the forums), has the possiblity of becomming assigned, and is less realtime than IRC... It is a great place to discuss possible solutions to the bugs. As this bug is a duplicate/depends on bug... It doen't really matter that it is closed... but it should be closed as Duplicate or similar I have same bug. When i try build a new gentoo system and try "genkernel all", i got same "compile of modules failed" message. I have not made any modification in kernel config, it is the same oldconfig which comes with 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 kernel package. log says: ---- Knoppix / # tail /var/log/genkernel.log ld -m elf_i386 -r -o linux_xfs.o xfs_stats.o xfs_sysctl.o xfs_aops.o xfs_behavior.o xfs_file.o xfs_fs_subr.o xfs_globals.o xfs_ioctl.o xfs_iomap.o xfs_iops.o xfs_lrw.o xfs_super.o xfs_vfs.o xfs_vnode.o make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r5/fs/xfs/linux' rm -f xfs_quota.o ld -m elf_i386 -r -o xfs_quota.o xfs_qm_stats.o xfs_dquot.o xfs_dquot_item.o xfs_trans_dquot.o xfs_qm_syscalls.o xfs_qm_bhv.o xfs_qm.o make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r5/fs/xfs/quota' rm -f xfs.o ld -m elf_i386 -r -o xfs.o xfs_alloc.o xfs_alloc_btree.o xfs_attr.o xfs_attr_leaf.o xfs_bit.o xfs_bmap.o xfs_bmap_btree.o xfs_btree.o xfs_buf_item.o xfs_da_btree.o xfs_dir.o xfs_dir2.o xfs_dir2_block.o xfs_dir2_data.o xfs_dir2_leaf.o xfs_dir2_node.o xfs_dir2_sf.o xfs_dir2_trace.o xfs_dir_leaf.o xfs_error.o xfs_extfree_item.o xfs_fsops.o xfs_ialloc.o xfs_ialloc_btree.o xfs_iget.o xfs_inode.o xfs_inode_item.o xfs_iocore.o xfs_itable.o xfs_dfrag.o xfs_log.o xfs_log_recover.o xfs_macros.o xfs_mount.o xfs_rename.o xfs_trans.o xfs_trans_ail.o xfs_trans_buf.o xfs_trans_extfree.o xfs_trans_inode.o xfs_trans_item.o xfs_utils.o xfs_vfsops.o xfs_vnodeops.o xfs_rw.o pagebuf/pagebuf.o linux/linux_xfs.o support/support_xfs.o quota/xfs_quota.o xfs_dmops.o xfs_qmops.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r5/fs/xfs' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r5/fs' * gen_die(): compile of modules failed --- I understand, there is problem with kernel modules, not with genkernel, but it is still problem, which need a solution. With genkernel i had still problem. When i used options --debuglevel=5 and --debugfile=debug.genkernel.txt i got no file with debug information. And if genkernel just fails without saying anything (like: look /var/log/genkernel.log for information) for first time installer like me, i think it is still bug. I managed to work around this problem by using 'genkernel --menuconfig all' and removing "VIA CLE266" from "Character devices". I also set my processor type, although I don't think this matters... I tried this after viewing /var/log/genkernel.log and seeing that compilation failed at via_drv.c. I realise this bug is marked as RESOLVED INVALID as this isn't a genkernel issue, but I thought I'd post my findings for the benefit of anyone searching bugzilla in the hope of a fix. Sidenote: Error grepping is in genkernel-3.0.2_rc1 so that errors can be easily detected. Changing to "CLOSED" from "RESOLVED INVALID". |
