usually I run
Code:
genkernel --menuconfig --lvm2 --dmraid --bootloader=grub --install all


but running this gets the same error faster
Code:
genkernel initrd

they both fail with this error
Code:
* ERROR: Could not find klibc tarball:



This is my /var/log/genkernel.log:

Code:
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.10
* Running with options: initrd 
                               
* Linux Kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 for x86...
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.10
* Running with options: initrd 
                               
* ERROR: Could not find klibc tarball:
* -- Grepping log... --         
* -- End log... --             
* Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any
* errors that were reported above.
* Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and
* assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org. Please include
* as much information as you can in your bug report; attaching
* /var/log/genkernel.log so that your issue can be dealt with effectively.
*
* Please do *not* report compilation failures as genkernel bugs!
*

after some searching all these packages seem to be realted.
Code:
# emerge -pv genkernel klibc udev

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.3.10  USE="-bootsplash -ibm" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/klibc-1.1.1  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/udev-079  0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB


I have also re-emerged all he above packages with no luck

Hi,

just do it:
emerge -C genkernel
emerge "<genkernel-3.3.6"

...and have fun! :)

Best regards,
Roland

Hi, I tried to update my system from 2.6.9 Kernel to 2.6.15-r1

genkernel --menuconfig --udev --bootloader=grub all

and got these message:

for successful build to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r1
* --udev is deprecated and no longer necessary as udev is on by default
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.10
* Running with options: --udev --menuconfig --bootloader=grub all

* ERROR: Could not find klibc tarball:


I emerged udev 079-r1 and genkernel 3.3.10

if I use a genkernel < 3.3.6 I get the mesage that I dont have a udev tarball.

Strange, because the genkernel package has a klibc package in it.

Thx and regards

Gordon

as shown in your error: udev is depricated. Translated that means it's no longer needed!
unmerge udev and perhaps emerge devfsd (start the deamon afterwards)

NONONO. Do NOT unmerge udev. The message just means that specifying --udev with genkernel is no longer necessary.

Hi,

that's my problem. If I use the solution for the klibc. I have another problem.
I get the message "can't find the udev tarball".
My Distri was 2004.3 and I installed the 2.6.9 dev-sources.

Maybe I should try building the kernel without genkernel?

thx gordon

upgrade to the latest genkernel.
move /etc/._cfg000_genkernel.conf to /etc/genkernel.conf

and my problem solved

I got the same problem. Both with 3.3.10 and 3.3.11

* Copying config for successful build to /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r4
* ERROR: Could not find klibc tarball:

Which is not surprising seeing as klibc isn't installed at all.
Code:
emerge -pvt gentoo-sources genkernel klibc udev

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/udev-084  0 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/klibc-1.2.1-r1  441 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.3.11  USE="bootsplash -ibm" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r4  USE="-build -doc -symlink" 0 kB



edit: OH. The fucking config file. That explains a lot, because I did check dispatch-conf, which displayed nothing, probably because I moved the /etc shebang from a different system and dispatch-conf didn't pick it up until now that I've upgraded to ~x86 genkernel....
