Genkernel log file

Hi. 

Long time user, first time bug submitter. Thanks for a great system.

I run genkernel to build the new kernel 5.12.2 and gets blocked with rebuilding the old kernel that seems to be missing in the system.


Command:
--------------------------------
genkernel --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux-5.11.11-gentoo/.config --bootloader=grub2 --install all
--------------------------------

Output:
--------------------------------
* kernel: >> Initializing ...
*         >> Previous config backed up to .config--2021-05-18--05-51-22.bak
*         >> Running 'make mrproper' ...

Thank you in advance for looking into this issue.

1) Could you try doing a full world update and dep cleaning first?

emerge —-sync ; emerge -a -uvDU @world ; emerge -ac

2) Normally, genkernel isn’t used with gentoo-kernel (which auto builds for you) but instead gentoo-sources. You seem to have the former installed though. It’s ok to have them both installed but generally you only need to use one.

Hi Sam

Thank you for the quick answer. I've never added gentoo-kernel to my world list and it was not in the file /var/lib/portage/world so I never thought it could be an issue.

I unmerged that package and the build went through. I'm in the process of upgrading/rebuilding all packages but this was blocking my progress in order to build with the right kernel headers. 

Best regards
Daniel
