Description Josiah Chan 2004-04-25 07:23:01 UTC
after emerge genkernel
installation handbook needs to verify if any files are generated with code:
ls /boot/initrd* /boot/kernel*

I found nothing there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Stage 1 or Stage 2 installation
2. Uses genkernel all

Actual Results:  
sucessfully compile kernels.
no output files are expected with code:
ls /boot/initrd* /boot/kernel*

Expected Results:  
ls boot/initrd* /boot/kernel* should show
initrd-2.4.25-gentoo-r2
kernel-2.4.25-gentoo-r2
...

when I do genkernel --menuconfig all
it does generate the expected file.
however it takes me a long time to config the kernel settings.

You're supposed to run "genkernel all" after emerging genkernel... If so; did you see genkernel successfully say it built the kernel, the initrd and then give you a list of parameters to add to your bootloader configuration?

No response here for a few weeks now, so I'm closing this bug as NEEDINFO. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you still encounter it... Thanks!
