Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2011 5:54 pm Post subject: Cannot install any kernel sources; very weird |
|
|
Basically,
| Code: | # emerge xen-sources
|
and (what I hope to switch to)
| Code: | # emerge hardened-sources
|
and there is not any useful information in the build log. They get to the point of installing, but it is impossible to do `make menuconfig`.
| Code: | # make -j2 menuconfig
scripts/kconfig/mconf Kconfig
init/Kconfig:375: can't open file "kernel/irq/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
|
Build log is simply where Portage stopped. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522603/
Anyone encountered this? I really don't know what I did wrong here. I've never seen this before. |

Hi,
are you sure you are in the correct subdir when you use "make menuconfig"?
not /usr/src/linux, but /usr/src/linux-(whatever version)-gentoo-(whatever revision)...
Do you have the subdir kernel/irq in your kernel source subdir? (every kernel sources I know have this subdir and a file named "Kconfig" in it)

Plenty of Kconfig files but not irq/Kconfig:
| Code: | | find -name Kconfig | grep irq |
within /usr/src returns nothing. |

| What is the output of ls -l /usr/src/linux*? Did you intend to use a root shell to build the kernel? This is neither required nor recommended. |

It is not complete. And installation always fails like in my original log.
| Code: | # qcheck xen-sources | grep are\ good
* 25547 out of 38500 files are good

This is for a web server.
Goverp, says 53% used so I'm sure I have the space. |

You are missing some subdirs from the kernel sources which are normally included in the packages.
At least there is missing:
- kernel
- usr
- tools
I would recommend to delete the archives in /usr/portage/distfiles, re-download and unpack them. It looks like there is something missing in the packages or something goes wrong during unpacking... |

Tried that. Even changed the mirrors.
| Code: | >>> Installing (1 of 1) sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.38
>>> Failed to install sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.38, Log file:
>>> '/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.38/temp/build.log'
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

It's so weird. There's no useful information in that log whatsoever. It's just like the one I pasted in the original post. |

this is really weird.
Why does 'install' fail?
Do you really have enough disk space at the partition(s) where /var and /usr are mounted? When it´s a web server maybe /var and /usr use different partitions and one of them runs out of space.
Did you try to clean the target subdirs /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.38 and /usr/src/xen-sources-2.6.38 completely with rm -rf before emerging the kernel sources?
Another cause could be a corrupted file system hat needs an fsck. |

I did transfer this image via dd and ssh over the web. It might be that I need to do an fsck indeed. |

Solved this. It was due to lack of RAM. After a successful install via a rescue boot, and rebooting, I did:
| Code: |
swapon /dev/sda2 # for some reason not on
/etc/init.d/php-fpm stop
emerge -C hardened-sources
emerge hardened-sources
|
It wasn't until after the reboot that Portage gave a Python traceback which had an obvious message:
| Code: |
>>> Installing (1 of 1) sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.0.4-r5
