 Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2005 8:50 pm Post subject: Genkernel and 2.6.13-r3 error |
 |
|
Well, Iv been running 2.6.11-4 since around May and didnt see much point in upgrading since. But a few days ago I wasnt able to emerge --world because devfsd was blocking gentoo-sources, so I unmerged devfsd and emerged udev and set the option to udev in /etc/conf.d/rc rebooted, and it said that udev was not supported for some reason, and X wouldnt start. So i figured i'd go ahead and compile the latest kernel since udev has to be supported in that. Well, I emerged gentoo-sources, got 2.6.13-r3, and ran genkernel. Upon running Genkernel I get the error:

I Googled aroudn a bit and saw someone say to unmerge gentoo-sources, and remove the source files from /usr/src, then re-emerge it, but wasnt to sure on that. Does anybody have a solution? Iv never been to keen on having to upgrade my kernel since it seems like such a big process that I really dont wanna screw up. |

Did you set the /usr/src/linux symlink and copy .config from the old kernel? Please post the output of

OK, you have a lot of kernels there, but it seems you've never used them. To build a new kernel you've to change your /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the desired kernel
| Code: | cd /usr/src
ln -sfn /usr/src/<desired kernel> linux |
I reccomend that you look at this document
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
BTW, you may safely unmerge all the unused kernels with
| Code: | emerge -C sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.<x>-r<y>
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.<x>-gentoo-<y> |
It seems that you're using 2.6.11-r4, but check with
And leave 2.6.13-r3 if you want to build that one.

Should I unmerge the kernel im currently using aswell, which is infact 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 (from uname -r)? |

No, and leave the unmerge stuff for later, after you're able to rebuild a running kernel.

| On reboot into 2.6.13 it stops on the message "vesafb: scrolling: redraw". This happened the first time I compiled my kernel in May, but I dont remember what the solution was. Does anybody know? |
