any ideas? all i did was emerge =sparc-sources-2.4.24-r2, emerge genkernel, and genkernel all...

Does it work if you build manually instead of using that hideous x86 hack that we only 'support' because catalyst requires it?

[kalisphoenix]

I've never gotten good results with the new genkernel on any arch.

For another, I suspect that the kernel built might be larger than 2.5MB, since my minimal kernel (no graphics, module the shit out of everything) ended up being 2MB after stripping.

All the advice I can offer is to back up ciaranm -- don't use genkernel.

What version of genkernel are you using?
