hiya.

I've just used genkernel to compile my new kernel and initrd.

Code:

genkernel --debuglevel=4 all


here is the tail of the output once i get the command line back.

Code:

So.. did it finish successfully, or do I have to fix something? That line saying "ERROR: Could not find udev tarball: /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/udev-039.tar.bz2" kind of scares me. So, what's the deal?

Yeah, the initramfs failed to compile, so something did go wrong.

Genkernel v3.3.5 does not use that version of udev. When was the last time you ran a etc-update? and when you ran it, did you choose to replace the config file for genkernel or keep the old one? I would suggest reinstalling genkernel, then do a etc-update and overwrite the old genkernel.conf with the new one.

Quote:
# ls /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/udev-*
/usr/share/genkernel/pkg/udev-045.tar.bz2
/usr/share/genkernel/pkg/udev-050.tar.bz2
/usr/share/genkernel/pkg/udev-054.tar.bz2
/usr/share/genkernel/pkg/udev-056.tar.bz2


my /etc/genkernel.conf sniplet
Quote:
UDEV_VER="054"
UDEV_DIR="udev-${UDEV_VER}"
UDEV_SRCTAR="${GK_SHARE}/pkg/udev-${UDEV_VER}.tar.bz2"
UDEV_BINCACHE="%%CACHE%%/udev-${UDEV_VER}-%%ARCH%%.tar.bz2"
Check and see if that is at least in there before reinstalling genkernel. A lot of packages have been updated so you cannot just use this info.

Hope this helps.

okay, i did an etc-update and now my /etc/genkernel.conf file has that same snippet. I'm recompiling the kernel now so we'll see what happens in a half hour or so. thanks.
