 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.11-gentoo-r7

 * getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file.
 *    getfilevar <VARIABLE> <CONFIGFILE>
 * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux sources.
 * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
 * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.

[Comment 1 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-07-08 06:25:20 UTC]

What version of genkenrel did you use?

[Comment 2 Alexander Rigbo 2005-07-08 14:13:38 UTC]

alex@wipeout ~ $ genkernel --version
3.1.5

[Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-07-08 14:37:49 UTC]

...and is there a .config file in /usr/src/linux, and if so, can you attach it
here as text/plain?

[Comment 4 Alexander Rigbo 2005-07-11 00:59:32 UTC]

Created attachment 63113 [details]
Kernel config

There were no .config in /usr/src/linux, so here's the one from /proc

[Comment 5 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2005-07-12 10:58:17 UTC]

Please try genkernel 3.2.2. If you still experience issues attach
/var/log/genkernel.log to this bug and reopen.
