 Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 8:34 pm Post subject: [Solved] "make menuconfig" fails on new installati |
 |
|
Hi all. Trying to get Gentoo installed in a VM before I make the commitment to install it on my work laptop. I extracted my stage3 (stage3-i686-20130528.tar.bz2), mounted my proc, sys, and dev. I set my profile, I ran my emerge sync and portage update. Fully updated, I emerge'd gentoo-sources, and then eselect'd my kernel. Upon running my "make menuconfig", I get an error about Kconfig.

I've tried this a number of times. I even destroyed and completely re-created the whole VM and that didn't help either. I'm thinking I'm missing some step here, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edit: Fixed by manually copying files from the staging directory (/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13/image/) into the root and could then successfully build.

Hmm. This file appears to be shipped with the kernel sources: | Code: | # equery files gentoo-sources | grep init/Kconfig
/usr/src/linux-3.8.13-gentoo/init/Kconfig |
Would you post the output of | Code: | | # ls -l /usr/src/linux/init |
please?

The folder doesn't even exist

ls: cannot access /usr/src/linux/init: No such file or directory

Hm, equery seems to argue with emerge..
| Code: | (chroot) livecd src # equery files gentoo-sources | grep init/Kconfig
!!! No installed packages matching 'gentoo-sources' |

boot cd, enter the chroot, nominally: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
run

| Did you chrooted into your new environment ? |

I covered that in my first post 
| Code: | (chroot) livecd linux # ls -l /usr/src
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 29 17:43 linux -> linux-3.8.13-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Jun 29 17:48 linux-3.8.13-gentoo |
On a whim I manually copied everything from /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13/image/ into the root, and I can now run that. Seems strange that emerge couldn't finish doing that for me  |

The fact that that directory even exists means you've missed an error message that was thrown when you emerged gentoo-sources. You might want to try that again, look for the error messages and, if you like, post them here.

Although it perhaps can be deduced that you have chrooted into the right directory, "covered" is a strong word here  |

| Since this is a VM, this is very likely due to the lack of memory; because of the way Portage queues files, it can sometimes consume a huge amount of memory when merging, especially with gentoo-sources. Lots of small files, lots of overhead in the merge queue; nobody looked into that yet... |
