Hi,

I'm trying to install Gentoo in my laptop. I have chrooted from an OpenSuse installation and compiled a kernel from Gentoo but I got an error:

Code:
$make && make modules_install

...
 LD      init/built-in.o
fs/built-in.o: In function `nfs_dns_resolve_name':
(.text+0x1170cc): undefined reference to `dns_query'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Any idea?

el_Salmon,

Your error is related to a piece of the kernel used for Network File System.
The linker is trying to resolve a symbol called dns_query, which is probably provided by a kernel option you have not selected.

You can grep the entire kernel for dns_query and when you find where its defined, turn on that option, or if you do not need NFS, you can turn off NFS support in the kernel.

id pull down kernel.org's 3.9.6, and follow manual kernel compilation wiki from gentoo. dont forget to include your sata, pata controllers & file system, & definitely compile in DEVTMPFS!!!!

666threesixes666,

kernel.orgs kernels are gentoos vanillia-sources.
The latter has the advantage that portage keeps track of things.

This problem looks like it may be a kernel bug, as the kernel tries to force on options that other options need.

It could be also corruption of sources or .config file. If the problem persists I'd rm kernel sources and start from scratch.

:idea:
Hmmmm... tell us the truth first... it's a git-sources-3.10-rc5, isn't it ?

No, it's the last gentoo-sources:
Code:
emerge -pv gentoo-sources

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.13:3.8.13  USE="-build -deblob -symlink" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

I will try to remove .config and to start config from zero but it needs quite effort.

Do you mean you removed your custom .config ? :?
Out of curiosity, how had you made it ?

It was a bug, I would like to see the config to reproduce it and have this filed at https://bugs.gentoo.org such that I can keep track of it and look into it; but well, the config is likely gone now... :(

As far as I see, this forum topic itself is the only occurence of it on the internet.

No, I keep it. I did a "mv .config .config-bad" before "make mrproper". If I have enough time, I will submit a bug to Gentoo.
