 Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 3:59 am Post subject: genkernel instructions are wrong - SOLVED |
 |
|
The x86 Installation Handbook, under the section on genkernel, says: | Quote: | Now, let's see how to use genkernel. First, emerge the genkernel ebuild:
# emerge genkernel
Next, copy over the kernel configuration used by the Installation CD to the location where genkernel looks for the default kernel configuration:
# zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6
|
but when I do this, I get: | Code: | | /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6: No such file or directory |
So I looked to see what was missing, and I saw: | Code: | (chroot) livecd / # ls /usr/share/genkernel
BUGS defaults gen_cmdline.sh gen_determineargs.sh gen_moddeps.sh netboot
HACKING gen_arch.sh gen_compile.sh gen_funcs.sh gen_package.sh patches
arch gen_bootloader.sh gen_configkernel.sh gen_initramfs.sh modules
|
So it appears to me that something has changed since these genkernel instructions were written in the Installation Handbook, as there is no x86 directory here. 
Can somebody give me the correct instructions? 
And has the documentation bug been reported before, so it can be fixed?

Try this | Code: | | zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/kernel-config-2.6 |

It should be
| Code: | | # zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/kernel-config-2.6 |

Yes, that does make more sense" | Code: | (chroot) livecd / # ls /usr/share/genkernel/arch/
alpha arm ia64 mips parisc parisc64 ppc ppc64 sparc sparc64 um x86 x86_64

The Handbook is missing the "arch".
