*running with options: --splash --no-install --no-clean --menuconfig all
ERROR: Failed to compile the "modules" target...

-- End log... --


The above is pretty much all i can see, then whats below end log.

i've pretty much done everything by the handbook so far, and through trial and error managed to reach the point where i need to compile the kernel... as a beginner i use genkernel.

I just ran "genkernel all" instead of that other thing, i get the same result. i'm giving up unless someone here knows how to do this. (giving up as in, giving up on trying to install gentoo on my laptop for now, i'd probably just switch to another distro)

Hey rabcor,

I'm pretty sure I ran into this problem the other day, the solution I used is at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-934434-start-0.html. You will have to append --menuconfig to your genkernel line and tick off one of the modules if I remember correctly.

--EDIT--
Sorry, I know you're new so here's a little more information. After you run genkernel --menuconfig all, a configuration menu will load as if you were manually configuring. You need to disable "Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel Support," which you will find under:
-> Device Drivers │
│ -> SCSI device support │
│ -> SCSI low-level drivers

It's probably set to compile as a module now, you want to completely remove it.

thanks a lot, it worked, altho now i'm getting
Code:

Required Kernel Parameters:
       real_root=/dev/$ROOT
       
       Where $ROOT is the device node for your root partition as the
       one specified in /etc/fstab

If you require Genkernel's hardware detection features; you MUST
tell your bootloader to use the provided INITRAMFS file. Otherwise;
substitute the root argument for the real_root argument if you are
not planning to use the initramfs...

WARNING... WARNING... WARNING...
Additional kernel cmdline arguments that *may* be required to boot properly...
add "vga=791 splash=silent, theme:default console=tty1 quiet" if you use a splash framebuffer ]
With support for several ext* filesystems around it may be needed to
add "rootfstype=ext3" or "rootfstype=ext4"


where am i meant to add this.. rootfstype=ext4 and... the vga thing? since i'm kindof worried abou this, i'll make a new thread for it.
