Description Scott Alfter 2016-09-28 17:39:51 UTC

I'm bringing up Gentoo on an old notebook with a Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) processor.  I figured I'd let genkernel build the kernel image, but it sets CONFIG_64BIT.  This, of course, won't work on a 32-bit processor.

As a workaround, I used make menuconfig in the kernel-source directory to disable CONFIG_64BIT and restarted genkernel with the --oldconfig option.

Comment 2 abma 2016-11-14 22:06:30 UTC

i hit this bug, too. As workarround i changed the default config file of genkernel:

cat <<DATAEOF >> "/usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/generated-config"
CONFIG_64BIT=n
DATAEOF


genkernel --arch-override=x86 works fine after this change!

This is fixed in v3.5.0.2.
