Hi guys thanks in advance for your help, This is my first time trying to install Gentoo I am following the handbook and the guides faithfully but I am having a hard time when it comes to the kernel. I wanted to do a couple without doing the kernel myself, but it isn't finding a command that it tried to use. See below
CC arch/x86/boot/pm.o
RELOCS arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs
AS arch/x86/boot/pmjump.o
CC arch/x86/boot/printf.o
LZMA arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma
/bin/sh: lzma: command not found
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.10.906
* Running with options: all
* ERROR: Failed to compile the "bzImage" target...
* -- Grepping log... --
* -- End log... --
[/code][/quote]
I have the whole log but I dont see a way to attach it to this, any help would be appreciated.
thanks jerry |

You chose to compress the kernel with lzma compression, but you don't have lzma installed. You'll need to emerge either "lzma-utils" or "xz-utils". Either package provides the "lzma" executable. (They're conflicting packages; you have to chose one or the other. It looks to me like xz is set to supersede lzma eventually, and it provides the various lzma executables for backwards-compatibility, so I chose to install "xz-utils".) Either that or change your kernel compression method to gzip or bzip2, which are included on the boot CD. |
