 |
|
Greetings. I'm new to gentoo and today I was trying to install it on my machine.
I've been following the installation handbook but I've been unable to finish my kernel compiling. And this is the error that I get.
| Code: | OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
RELOCS arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs
LZ4 arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lz4
/bin/sh: lz4c: command not found
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile:148: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lz4] Error 127
make[2]: *** Deleting file 'arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lz4'
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/Makefile:112 arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:285: bzImage] Error 2 |
I've been looking around for a fix but haven't seen any Error 2 post with that particular makefile (Makefile:285 / 112).
Tried doing a
But did also not work.
What should I do?
Thank you

Try this:
General setup --> Kernel compression mode (Gzip) --->
If you have a running system later, you then can switch to LZ4. |

You told the kernel to use LZ4 compression, but you did not install the tool lz4c, which the kernel needs in order to do such compression. This tool comes from the package app-arch/lz4. You can emerge that package, or take pietinger's suggestion to tell the kernel not to use LZ4, at which point you will not need the lz4c tool. |

This worked. I managed to finish compiling and got to reboot into the OS. Thank you very much. |
