How would you want that data to be integrated?

yes - and don't work.

Hhm, maybe it is not solved :yet : tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux $ sudo genkernel --kerneldir=/home/tfoerste/devel/linux/ --kernel-config=<(zcat /proc/config.gz) all * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.24_p1 * Running with options: --kerneldir=/home/tfoerste/devel/linux/ --kernel-config=/dev/fd/63 all * Linux Kernel 3.5.0-rc4-00222-g15b7743 for x86... * mount: /boot mounted successfully! * kernel: Using config from /proc/21245/fd/63 * Previous config backed up to .config--2012-06-30--09-08-44.bak * kernel: >> Running mrproper... cp: cannot stat `/proc/21245/fd/63': No such file or directory * ERROR: Could not copy configuration file! * -- Grepping log... -- CLEAN include/config include/generated arch/um/include/generated arch/x86/include/generated CLEAN .config .version include/linux/version.h Module.symvers * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.24_p1 * Running with options: --kerneldir=/home/tfoerste/devel/linux/ --kernel-config=/dev/fd/63 all * ERROR: Could not copy configuration file! * -- End log... --
I have prepared a so far UNTESTED patch: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=1cc7c7d8104f10c10cc4d296bfaa232253429c23 You are free to give it a try using something like # git clone git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git # cd genkernel # git checkout -t origin/bug-421027 # sudo GK_SHARE="$PWD" ./genkernel YOUR PARAMETERS HERE If you do, please report back.

BTW the sudo has to be putted directly before "./genkernel" - otherwise the system wide found genkernel is used.

Are you referring to the GK_SHARE="$PWD" in between? In most cases both # FOO=bar sudo .... and # sudo FOO=bar .... both work equally well, but there are differences. Look at these examples: # sudo bash -c 'echo ${DISPLAY}' :0.0 # DISPLAY=foo sudo bash -c 'echo ${DISPLAY}' foo # sudo DISPLAY=foo bash -c 'echo ${DISPLAY}' foo # PATH=foo sudo bash -c 'echo ${PATH}' bash: sudo: command not found # sudo PATH=foo bash -c 'echo ${PATH}' foo Personally, I use the # sudo FOO=bar .... version unless I explicitly want to affect sudo itself.
Created attachment 316887 [details] log arg - yes. Ok , the patch works (both the git version and the epatched 3.4.24_p1 version) - so the bug report might be closed as "FIXED in CVS TREE" Beside that, this works for me: $> GK_SHARE="$PWD" sudo ./genkernel --kerneldir=/home/tfoerste/devel/linux/ --kernel-config=/proc/config.gz bzImage where this doesn't work for me (see attached log) $> sudo GK_SHARE="$PWD" ./genkernel --kerneldir=/home/tfoerste/devel/linux/ --kernel-config=/proc/config.gz bzImage 1>log 2>&1

The previous patch was missing "if" at three places ("if [[ foo" rather than "[[ foo") so the working one is actually at fault here. A fixed patch is on master now: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=0db56cdc9d5166abaaaf0b23406cf06d775e2bca
