I may have made some mistake here, but I cannot find out which, neither do the forum or bugzilla contain anything in this regard. So I'm posting a bugreport, maybe it's one after all: I get an error when I try to build and install a kernel using genkernel. I run genkernel as follows: genkernel --no-menuconfig --install --bootloader=grub all Genkernel prints out: * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.7_pre3 * Running with options: --no-menuconfig --install --bootloader=grub all * Linux Kernel 2.6.20-gentoo for x86... * kernel: >> Running mrproper... * config: Using config from /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.20-gentoo * Previous config backed up to .config.bak * >> Running oldconfig... * kernel: >> Cleaning... * >> Compiling 2.6.20-gentoo bzImage... * >> Compiling 2.6.20-gentoo modules... * Copying config for successful build to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.20-gentoo * busybox: >> Configuring... * busybox: >> Compiling... * ERROR: Failed to compile the "all" target...

Created attachment 111449 [details, diff] busybox-1.1.3+gentoo-no-asm-page-h.patch This is because the new linux-headers-2.6.20-r1 doesn't have asm/page.h. The files inside busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 need to be patched with the attached patch somehow.
Please make this a blocker of the linux-headers tracker bug, #159304.
This doesn't actually work, though... hmmm...
(In reply to comment #4) > This doesn't actually work, though... hmmm... > Oh, yes it does. I just couldn't 'make allyesconfig', but that wasn't what genkernel was doing. Just finished compiling gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r4 with the busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 linked at the end. if you want to try with it, just copy it to /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 and retry. http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=91176
I compiled a linux-2.6.20-gentoo on 2007-02-08 very fine with sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.7 and I got failure since upgrade to 3.4.7_pre3, using same source tree (I just turned on "mrproper" on to make sure), and same conf. On same sources with same conf, reverting to 3.4.7 did not help. Break may be due to an other upgrade that happened by the mean time ...
I did not understand what to do with patch in c2 (where to put it in portage ?), but putting http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=91176 to /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 (after archiving old one) did help building a new kernel.
A workaround for now is to run the following before running genkernel: ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm/page.h /usr/include/asm/

The tarball was just the original busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.tar.bz2 with the patch applied.

OK. I've fixed this in SVN. Thanks for the patch!
Works for me; please close.
It also works for me now, I am closing this as fixed now.
In the future, leave the resolution to the maintainer. I was planning on holding off until it was 3.4.7 final, rather than still the _pre releases.

For people that can't wait, since this bug is still happening now with portage-stable, try doing the following.. this will check of busybox installs clean on your system, if so then it copies the distfile to genkernel's package directory and updates genkernel.conf: emerge -1 =sys-apps/busybox-1.5.1 && cp /usr/portage/distfiles/busybox-1.5.1* /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/ && sed -i -e 's/BUSYBOX_VER=".*"/BOSYBOX_VER="1.5.1"/' /etc/genkernel.conf
This isn't really an issue, since genkernel-3.4.8 was stabilized the other day.
