genkernel initramfs 

can't compile busybox 1.18.1(included on genkernel 3.4.20)  or busybox 1.19.1

i set in

Now compile fine...

Comment 5 Ulenrich 2011-11-28 17:29:16 UTC
Donalds e2fs-bild patch doesnt help me. 
And I wonder why KERNEL_ARCH is x86 (see below) even if i had set it x86_64 ?

Comment 6 Ulenrich 2011-11-28 17:39:30 UTC
Thats funny:
- Massimos link in this threads first message shows the exact same error output in that bug. But 2 weeks erlier. 
- I can successfully build busybox on its own (emerge busybox)

I think most probably there is a newer patch in the ebuild of busybox,
but which is not considered when using genkernel!

This workaround helps me ... now all fine is building an initramfs.

Same problem for me and the workaround works for me too

Donald, is this about cross compilation?

On my ~amd64 machine this very version of e2fsprogs compiles fine from withing busybox (with an older version of glibc, though).  Any ideas how to reproduce this problem?
Comment 12 Ulenrich 2012-01-08 08:44:40 UTC
genkernel seems to never respect ARCH x86_64 , it ever displays
ARCH=x86 with loglevel=2
Therefore this "cross" problem?

I guess what you see here is that fact that the kernel itself only has ARCH x86 (x86 and x86_64 were unified a couple of releases back).
Comment 14 Ulenrich 2012-01-08 10:14:48 UTC
@Xake, you talk about linux source-tree integration?

/me: have this output:

Ok, I went back to the code and took a look. KERNEL_ARCH should ALWAYS be "x86" for a processors based there upon (which holds true for both x86_32 and x86_64), however ARCH should be the same as "uname -m" unless you want to crosscompile (in which case you want to use ARCH_OVERRIDE).

However your output looks strange...
So please try to emerge genkernel-3.4.21.2 (latest in ~arch) and run it one time with the stock configuration, so we are sure nothing in your /etc/genkernel.conf has gotten screwed.

If this does not work, please post your genkernel.conf, emerge --info and "uname -m" together with your full genkernel commandline and genkernel.log.
Comment 16 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-10-13 23:00:19 UTC
No response from user for nearly a user.
Presuming this is fixed with the changes in the meantime (test ~arch to confirm).
