Bug 99283 – sys-kernel/genkernel-3.2.5 exits without actually doing anything

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Joshua Hoblitt 2005-07-16 20:24:11 UTC]

genernel 3.2.5 always exits on my system without doing any work.  I tried many
different combination of flags (and none at all); the result was always the same.

e.g.
--
 # genkernel  --debuglevel=5 --menuconfig --oldconfig all
* CMD_DEBUGLEVEL: 5
* CMD_MENUCONFIG: 1
* CMD_CLEAN: 0
* CMD_OLDCONFIG: 1
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.2.5
* Running with options: --debuglevel=5 --menuconfig --oldconfig all
[genkernel exits]

Downgrading to 3.1.6 resolved the issue.

Can you run bash -x /usr/share/genkernel $arguments please?

[Comment 2 Eric Edgar (RETIRED) 2005-07-18 05:08:12 UTC]

also look to /var/log/genkernel.log for additional clues.

[Comment 3 Eric Edgar (RETIRED) 2005-07-18 14:56:52 UTC]

removal of make prepare called before a config is in place should fix this 
issue.

[Comment 4 Joshua Hoblitt 2005-07-18 16:47:02 UTC]

Do you still want the bash trace/etc. from me?

[Comment 5 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-07-19 07:48:49 UTC]

Please give genkernel-3.2.8 a go, if you are still experiencing issues then
reopen this bug. Thanks!

[Comment 6 Joshua Hoblitt 2005-07-19 13:56:34 UTC]

I can confirm that 3.2.9 (3.2.8 didn't show up in the portage tree) is working.
 Thanks.

This was resolved quite a while ago. Time for full closure.
