At the end of the installation process I see this message: >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/rp-pppoe-3.4/image/ --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-rp-pppoe-3.4-1893.log" open_wr: /proc/sys/kernel/tainted open_wr: /proc/sys/kernel/tainted -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/net-dialup/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe-3.4.ebuild .
this is a dup of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4615 that bug was closed because noone could recreate it and the original reporter died (or disappeared, whichever) could you post the output of `lsmod` and that log file ? /tmp/sandbox-rp-pppoe-3.4-1893.log also, post any specs you think might be related ;)
oh, and rp-pppoe does not 'taint the kernel' rp-pppoe is just trying to read that file (the reason is what needs to be discovered) that file is used by kernel developers to determine whether or not to help a bug report ... if the user installed a kernel module that does not have a compatible license with the GPL (like nvidia's closed source kern module), then the kernel is 'tainted' and the user will not be helped the reason is simply because the kern developers cannot determine where the bug lies ... whether in the closed source module or in their own code
Ryan, it's back :(
I suspect it has to do with some of that new grsecurity stuff in the kernel. Is there a way to dynamically disable it using sysctl? I should add that I do have the NVidia drivers in my kernel.
the only time i had a problem with grsecurity was when using wine (it likes to play with addresses in memory and some of my settings with grsecurity made it unworkable) so, post the output of `lsmod` ? and bzip2 your .config file for your kernel, post it, and ill take a look at it (/usr/src/linux/.config)
As you see, `lsmod` shows that I appear to have _no_ modules loaded: quikbox root # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted quikbox root # Also, the log file in /tmp contains only the 2 lines below: open_wr: /proc/sys/kernel/tainted open_wr: /proc/sys/kernel/tainted
Created attachment 2716 [details] My kernel config file
which kernel are you using ? it appears you're running 2.4.x ... but which one exactly ? and what was the exact file name of the patch you applied for grsecurity ?
I am using 2.4.19 The grsecurity patch is the one that comes pre-applied in the stock source of the Gentoo kernel sources Ebuild.
ah, so you used the kernel source from gentoo ... personally i just get it straight from www.kernel.org, thats why i was asking which version of 2.4.19 you are using (there are like pre1 - pre10, rc1 - rc4) if you're using the version from gentoo, which one ? they have gentoo-sources-2.4.19-rX
r7
This bug works fine here with emerge 2.0.27. which compiler are you using?
It works for me too now. It must have been fixed :)
Hm ... the status of this bug is still 'verified'. Since over a year! Shouldn't this bug be closed? I can not reproduce this bug with current rp-pppoe but remember that I had the problem too last year.
Got this error today with 1.4rc fresh install, some ppp modules already loaded, kernel is 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 - sandbox=yes, if you need and want more info, tell me.
emerged it with USE="-x" FEATURES="-sandbox" and it worked (rp-pppoe-3.5)
