Hello. I am trying to compile 6.9.4 kernel sourced by gentoo-sources-6.9.4 with genkernel-4.3.16. When trying to compile kernel it gives that error;
Code:
...
ERROR: excessive number of firmwares!
...


I checked both genkernel's and gentoo-sources' bugzillas but i didn't encounter any bug about my problem. I tried emerge them both for any possible patch or bugfix but it didnt work. I just can compile 6.9.3 without issues.

genkernel.log; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YhCho-dKLZ2knzqlK_6ODbaH9gn1q0IC/view?usp=sharing
genkernel.conf; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V94bXG8T6xxSFpHeFX8wg3lldcBj5DjX/view?usp=sharing
.config of kernel; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lx1HydXKyjELcfnFIP0-mYwirJO_g8vw/view?usp=sharing

If additional information required, please tell that. Thanks.

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/?id=cc7d5e1e32a88dc2a4f144ce6ac9a92a2d679b05

That error comes from this commit:
Code:
-         if [ ! -f "${FIRMWARE_DIR}/${myfw}" ]
+         myfw_f=( $(compgen -G "${FIRMWARE_DIR}/${myfw}*") )
+
+         if [ ${#myfw_f[@]} -gt 1 ]
+         then
+            gen_die "excessive number of firmwares!"
+         fi


maybe file a bug.

genkernel 4.3.16 works with gentoo-sources-6.9.5. In 6.9.4, "Loadable modules support" disabled by default. Probably some "default" settings caused that problem.
