At least it compiles... *mkinitrd-4.2.0.3-r1 (09 Aug 2009) 09 Aug 2009; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> +mkinitrd-4.2.0.3-r1.ebuild, +files/mkinitrd-4.2.0.3-glibc-2.10.patch: Fix building with GLIBC 2.10+ wrt #271605.
ppc stable
It compiles and boots, but somehow it's unable to find and mount my root!? But the disk and fs-modules are in-kernel (the box boots even without an initrd at all!!). I can't tell if this is a regression, as the current stable don't even compile... Maybe i am doing something wrong!? mkinitrd /boot/testinitrd `uname -r`
(In reply to comment #2) > I can't tell if this is a regression, as the current stable don't even > compile... yeah, I have no idea either. mkinitrd is not really maintained in gentoo at the moment, see bug 181685 (and other mkinitrd bugs). all I know this is the only version left in tree that compiles, either: - mark it stable - drop your stable keywords - better yet, go for bug 181685 and start maintaining it ;)
(In reply to comment #3) > - mark it stable > - drop your stable keywords > - better yet, go for bug 181685 and start maintaining it I personally would take the second choice, as there is genkernel which produces some very nice initrd's and dracut, which has a gsoc project to port it to gentoo and it is the official replacement of mkinitrd! ;-)
Andreas, could you check if actual stable version the same? Thanks

bug 324741, mkinitrd is going away in favour of dracut
