Bug 97238 – genkernel-3.2.0_pre12 builds invalid image

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Karol Krizka 2005-06-27 12:05:06 UTC]

I tried to compile gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r1 with genkernel and can't boot it. It
just throws errors about invalid commands like when loading modules and starting
udev and so on:
/init: 1: ls no such command 
Is there any way I can capture them?
It finaly failed with a message that invalid device was specified. And when I
put /dev/hda2 I get the same error. I boot with the following:
title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.12-gentoo-r1)
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.12-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 splash=silent,fadein,theme:gentoo
quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
   initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.12-gentoo-r1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot linux
2.see gensplash
3.see errors

Actual Results:  
A bunch of error messages like:
/init: 1: ln not found
Finaly fails with invalid root device message.

Expected Results:  
Linux should have booted

[Comment 1 Eric Edgar (RETIRED) 2005-06-27 13:41:39 UTC]

did you change your busybox config? ls and ln are part of busybox and if they 
are not found things wont work.

[Comment 2 Karol Krizka 2005-06-27 13:44:44 UTC]

No I didn't. I'll try to remerge it and tell you. (I have to recompile the
kernel too, right?)

[Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-06-27 14:39:27 UTC]

No, you don't need to recompile the kernel - just use genkernel initrd instead
of genkernel all. Also clear your binkpkg cache by doing rm -rf
/usr/share/genkernel/pkg/x86_64/ before trying.

[Comment 4 John M. Drescher 2005-07-02 23:04:59 UTC]

I have the same problem building 2.6.12-gentoo-r2 with 3.2.0_pre17 on a dual
althon mpx rig. When I boot it drops into a shell because udev is not setup
because it can not find the commands to set it up and thus there is no root. In
the shell there is no ls so its very difficult to get any info on what if
anything is in /dev. 

[Comment 5 Karol Krizka 2005-07-02 23:05:58 UTC]

Recompiling busybox made it work for me.

[Comment 6 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-07-03 13:41:56 UTC]

Looks like the cache just needs cleaning out then - closing bug.
