 Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 1:06 pm Post subject: [Solved] cannot run genkernel |
 |
|
Hi,
I recently added a bluetooth dongle to my system. I want to configure the kernel to support bluetooth. My genkernel.conf contains, among others, the lines that follow :
| Quote: | # Run 'make oldconfig' before compiling this kernel?
OLDCONFIG="yes"
# Run 'make menuconfig' before compiling this kernel?
MENUCONFIG="yes"
# Run 'make clean' before compilation?
# If set to NO, implies MRPROPER WILL NOT be run
# Also, if clean is NO, it won't copy over any configuration
# file, it will use what's there.
CLEAN="no"
# Run 'make mrproper' before configuration/compilation?
MRPROPER="no"
# Override the arch detection?
#ARCH_OVERRIDE="x86"
# Mount BOOTDIR automatically if it isn't mounted?
MOUNTBOOT="yes"
# Make symlinks in BOOTDIR automatically?
SYMLINK="yes"
# Save the new configuration in /etc/kernels upon
# successfull compilation
SAVE_CONFIG="yes" |
Prior to run genkernel I copied the previous config like this :
| Code: | | cp /etc/kernels/gentoo-x86_64-3.5.7 /usr/src/linux/.config |
then I run
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
I get this :
| Quote: | jaaf-PC kernels # genkernel --menuconfig all

* Running with options: --menuconfig all

The /var/log/genkernel.log file adds nothing else.
As suggestel I installed new gentoo-sources
| Code: | | emerge gentoo-sources |
Which was linux-3.6.11-gentoo instead of linux-3-5-7
thus with eselect I changed the symlink to point on these new sources
Then rerunning genkernel gave :
| Quote: | jaaf-PC src # genkernel --menuconfig all
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.45
* Running with options: --menuconfig all
* Using genkernel.conf from /etc/genkernel.conf

* Sourcing arch-specific modules_load from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86_64/modules_load ..
Could not find source tarball /var/cache/genkernel/src/busybox-1.20.1.tar.bz2. Please refetch.

What on earth is this busybox tarball ?
What should I do ?

The source tarball is the source code for busybox which is by default included in the initramfs. Genkernel keeps its own copy separate from /usr/portage/distfiles. The fact that it's not there a minor piece of corruption as the file should be put there by the emerge of genkernel. (The error message could be better, too.) Just run | Code: | | emerge --oneshot genkernel |
and that should re-fetch the file. No idea how it got deleted, though.

Thank a lot John.
I did as you told me but with no success.

Very strange. I deleted the file from my system & reproduced the error message you had. I then re-emerged genkernel and the error went away. Could you post the output of | Code: | | ls -l /var/cache/genkernel/src |
please?
Edit: Wait. You've got unupdated config files to deal with. Please do that with your tool of choice (etc-update, dispatch-conf) and then try your genkernel command again. Ignoring config file updates is a bad idea.
- John

I could manage to run genkernel.
The fact that my config files were not up to date was the source of the problem. Specialy genkernel.conf that pointed on the wrong version of the busybox tarball and more over that did'nt any longer update the kernel and initramfs symlinks in /boot.
Thank you for your help.
