[Solved] Unable to build 6.12.47 due to SSL (Certificate?)

[Moarty]

Hi everyone,

Currently rocking the binary kernel temporarily until I can build my own, I am having a problem where the build is failing because of some certificate errors. Let me know if I should post the entire build log but the interesting bit is here. The thing is, I'm not running secure boot or anything like that, I am not trying to sign the kernel either, Im following the guide (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:A ... on_kernels) for a distribution kernel. So I've not done the steps for signing using openssl and kernel keys, I'm trying to avoid doing that.

Code: Select all

Please let me know what other info you may need and I will post it also, thank you.

looks like a bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/963425 , try resync the portage tree.

Indeed that was my issue, thank you!
