Gentoo Kernel fails to compile: emake failed

ian848uig · n00b Joined: 21 Sep 2023 Posts: 42 Location: Latin America

With the attempt to update from version 6.9.3 to version 6.9.5 the kernel fails to compile: https://pastebin.com/ESkJi0cT
NOTE: it happened when trying to update also to 6.9.4
Any suggestions? Also enlarge the /boot partition since before its capacity was from 300MB to 900MB (approximately) by shrinking /home

In your build log I see:

I tried ulimit -n 2048 and 8192 but nothing, plus my processor does have 32 cores and is the AMD Ryzen 5 5950X. and activated all cores from the UEFI firmware.
I'll still check the configuration

All 32 cores are activated, all system monitors show 32 instead of 16.

(Silly me. ulimit is per process. Having 32 of them wouldn't make a difference.)

So maybe it's the global limit ?

The maximum number of files globally returned by cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr is 2^63 (Approximately) subtracting -1.
In addition, there is not even 1% of file usage with an average of 10,500 (Approximate)

Maybe I'm sending you down the wrong path. Can you wgetpaste the other outputs suggested by portage ?

More information is found at: https://pastebin.com/8c2qWJR2
Furthermore, I had put the build log in at the time of creating the first post.

I hope this is the build.log: https://pastebin.com/5fL0hD6t

Was it /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.9.6/temp/build.log ?

It looks almost identical to the first file you posted, except that the new one is for gentoo-kernel-6.9.6 instead of gentoo-kernel-6.9.5 .

I'm still stumped. The Error 2 messages stand for No such file or directory and they come a few lines after make: cannot create temporary file <name snipped>: Too many open files . Which makes sense if it went looking for a file that it failed to create, but why were there too many open files in the first place ?

That's what I don't know, because of the error that there are "too many open files" emerges returns exit 1.
and it didn't happen before, this installation is not more than a month old and I think that in the second week it started to happen, also I am doing everything from chroot because when I start the kernel it pulls the dracut console, I think it will be solved when the size increases from /boot and removing the .old from /boot and re-emerged linux-firmware. (NOTE: Tried booting and now you can mount the ramdisk)
The problem that gentoo-kernel fails to compile started during the installation and still persists.
