 |
|
Hi all,
I've just installed gentoo and in the doc is said to type genkernel to start the compiling process... then the following thing is mentioned :
| Code: | If you're using genkernel 1.2 (included in the 1.4-20030803 x86/i686 GRP set), use the following:
# genkernel gentoo-sources
If you're using genkernel 1.4 or newer, there's no need to specify a kernel:
# genkernel
|
I did emerge -k genkernel and after that .. I wanted to start genkernel by simple typing genkernel .. then I got the help from genkernel .. even when I type : genkernel gs-sources
So I typed genkernel all and it starts ( still running  ) but the output I see is a lot different as in the doc shown..
The output should be:
| Code: | Gentoo Linux genkernel, version 1.4
Copyright 2003 Gentoo Technologies, Inc., Bob Johnson, Daniel Robbins
Distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2
Settings:
compile optimization: 1 processor(s)
source tree: /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gaming-r3
config: gentoo (customized)
config loc: /etc/kernels/config-2.4.20-gaming-r3
initrd config: (default) /etc/kernels/settings
* Running "make oldconfig"... [ ok ]
* Logging to /var/log/genkernel.log... [ ok ]
* Starting 2.4.20-gaming-r3 build... [ ok ]
* Running "make dep"... [ ok ]
* Running "make bzImage"... [ ok ]
* Running "make modules"... [ ok ]
* Running "make modules_install"... [ ok ]
* Moving bzImage to /boot/kernel-2.4.20-gaming-r3... [ ok ]
* Building busybox... [ ok ]
* Creating initrd... [ ok ]
* Build completed successfully!

And i got:
| Code: | GenKernel v3.0.1_beta4-3
* ARCH: x86
* KERNEL VER: 2.4.23_pre8-gss-r2
* kernel: configuring source
* kernel: running mrproper
* kernel: using config from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.4
* kernel: running oldconfig
* kernel: running clean
* kernel: Making dependencies for Linux 2.4.23_pre8-gss-r2
* kernel: Starting compile of linux 2.4.23_pre8-gss-r2 bzImage
* kernel: Starting compile of linux 2.4.23_pre8-gss-r2 modules
|
and still busy.....
Is this because the last few weeks is a new genkernel out?
So did I good by starting it with genkernel all? Do I have to worry? |

you have the newest genkernel, 3, which is a bit different in it's output than the one documented.
it will also copy your bzImage and initrd to /boot for you, so make sure it's mounted right now! |

Well, it's still running ... it seems to me this genkernel version is slower..
It could be me but it seems to take much more time... |
