gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r8 is currently stable, see if somebody posted a bug report already and if not file one. Is there a reason your not using 2.6.20-r8? you can try running make clean and make mrproper in the kernel source, if that doesn't work backup your config and try a default one. If all else fails, re install the source and try again; If that fails, try submitting a bug report.

I'm having exactly the same problem.
I'm using kernel 2.6.21-gentoo-r3 and genkernel 3.4.8
Tried with kernel 2.6.22 and 2.6.22-r1
It happened that I added 512mb of ram to my machine since my last kernel compilation but I think it has nothing to do with this error.

Hi. This is your problem.

It is easy to solve. I don't use genkernel but it must be the same. While configuring kernel options within genkernel go to:
"Processor type and features". You must see "Physical address where the kernel is loaded". Change its value to (0x200000). then everything must be ok.

The default genkernel config uses the following value:

Code:
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000


The kernel config help states:
Quote:
This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. It
should be aligned to 2MB boundary.

If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
address.

In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
(CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
vmlinux instead.

So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
the value here unchanged to 0x200000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.

Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is advantageous as
one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
as production kernel and capture kernel.

Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.


I have just built a kenel with the suggested:

Code:

CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x200000


Will see how it runs shortly, but this looks as though a fix to the genkernel default config is required.

EDIT: Boots and looks good!

Try this way:
1- Backup & config:
cp /usr/src/linux/.config /home/****/CONFIG-kernelversionY.ZZZZ
cd /usr/src/linux
make distclean
make mrproper
cp /home/****/CONFIG-kernelversionY.ZZZZ /usr/src/.config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig (or make xconfig)

make && make modules_install

2- Mounting & copying files :
mount /mnt/boot
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /mnt/boot/bzImage-kernelversion-Y.ZZZZ
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-x86_64-2.6.22-gentoo-r1
ln -s /boot/System.map-x86_64-2.6.22-gentoo-r1 /boot/System.map
adjust /boot/grub/grub.conf
3-Reboot and emerge some needed drivers and packages change accordingly:
# emerge -va1 nvidia-drivers alsa-driver realtime-lsm dazuko iwlwifi

add --menuconfig to your usual genkernel parameters.

Go to "Processor type and features", and towards the bottom you will find the relevant options.
"Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)" and "Physical address where the kernel is loaded".

Once you have a successfull build, if you want to continue using genkernel, you can add another parameter to the command line "--kernel-config=<path to config>". This uses the config specified as the starting point instead of the genkernel default.

Okay, Problem is solved, in order for you to see config physical start you must select configure standard kernel feature under general setup, Then just under build relocatable kernel will show up the physical start address and you need to replace the 1 with a 2

build relocatable kernel is not required

"Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)" and "Physical address where the kernel is loaded".

Change the physical address from 100000 to 200000 and it will build.

What do the following commands output?
Code:

zgrep CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START /proc/config.gz
zgrep CONFIG_RELOCATABLE /proc/config.gz

Are you using genkernel?
If so did you try with;
Code:

genkernel --menuconfig all

I see but the error reveals that this option is not changed, somehow. Maybe the --bootloader=grub option changes physical address to 100000 again. Did you try without genkernel? It is very easy and preferred way. Just look at my first post. Even, since you used genkernel, only the following procedure must work for you;
Code:

cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make menuconfig (or make xconfig)(make xconfig has a gtk gui and it is nicer. Adjust the required options here)
make
make modules_install
mount /boot/
cp System.map /boot/System.map-x86_64-2.6.22-gentoo-r2
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-x86_64-2.6.22-gentoo-r2
cd /boot
rm System.map
ln -s System.map-x86_64-2.6.22-gentoo-r2 System.map

Then one thing remains; adjusting grub.conf. The file has some entries to boot the desired kernels. I have four entries to choose while booting ; latest, stable, rescue and vista. You just need to add a new entry for the new kernel (latest). I provide my entry. Just change and add it to the file
/boot/grub/grub.conf
Customize it by looking at your entries at your grub.conf. Your partition scheme is probably different than mine. Ex: if you have "root (hd0,3)" than change it. If you have ide hard disk than change "root=/dev/hda5" or something.
Code:

# For booting Gentoo Latest
title  Gentoo Latest 2.6.22-gentoo-r2
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/kernel-x86_64-2.6.22-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/sda7 udev doscsi vga=792

Also don't forget to emerge some packages like:
Code:

emerge -va1 nvidia-drivers alsa-driver iwlwifi

then reboot.

Weird!

On my system building 2.6.22-r1 broke no matter what, until I manually edited the .config file! Maybe it's "menuconfig" itself?

Go figure!

genkernel --menuconfig all worked for me with the Linux Kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r2 simply by altering the 0x1... to 0x2...

Weird!

On my system building 2.6.22-r1 broke no matter what, until I manually edited the .config file! Maybe it's "menuconfig" itself?

Go figure!

Hi guys.

I read this thread and had to say WOW here is a solution.

I changed values in my backed .config.genkernel

ran genkernel --menuconfig --bootloader=grub all

then selected "Load ...." and loaded .config.genkernel

then selected exit (thought it should save actual state to .config)

and what the hell.... the same error

But I discovered that .config - the file with genkernel trying to build kernel from - is smaller than my .config.genkernel

So I copied .config.genkernel to .config, ran genkernel with cmd above, gave Load ...., loaded .config.genkernel and clicked Exit ...

The same error.

Well well end of tale.
What you need during menuconfig is to Load your config (if you have any) and then Save it to ".config"

After this .config is not overwritten with default values of .config file!

I just started to compile kernel, hope it works :-)

In order to make the config changes visible for genkernel (and the whole make process) after loading an alternative config file you just need to save you config to an alternative file, but in the name field type in ".config". That way genkernel will proceed with compiling the config you want. If you won't do that it'll simply save the changes to the file you loaded. :)

UPDATE: Just ran through the 2.6.22 kernel changelogs and found this:
Code:

 x86_64: display more intuitive error message if kernel is not 2MB aligned

    o x86_64 kernel needs to be compiled for 2MB aligned addresses. Currently
      we are using BUILD_BUG_ON() to warn the user if he has not done so. But
      looks like folks are not finding message very intutive and don't open
      the respective c file to find problem source. (Bug 8439)

    arch/x86_64/kernel/head64.c: In function 'x86_64_start_kernel':
    arch/x86_64/kernel/head64.c:70: error: size of array 'type name' is negative

    o Using preprocessor directive #error to print a better message if
      CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is not aligned to 2MB boundary.

Now we know what's going on. :)

thx a lot for that hint, same problem here with gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5 & r8

Code:
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x200000
did it for me..

This worked for me, as well as setting the start to 2mb.

hi

i'm new to gentoo, hope this fits here...

i also have problems when trying to compile the kernel (linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r3) on a core2duo processor, whether i configure the kernel using menuconfig or without menuconfig, i always get the error "ERROR: Failed to compile the "prepare" target..."

http://pastebin.ca/943120

anyone know what the problem could be?

thanks in advance

edit: i think this is the main problem, but don't know what exactly the problem is :)

hi there,

for those who did not notice yet, have a look here, there are some serious security holes in 2.6 kernel versions :

I have wollowed jjrojo advice and it has worked for me:

Instead of:
Code:
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

I have used:
Code:
linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash


I think the issue is that I was chrooting from a x86-64 environment.

Cheers!
