Problem Building Gentoo Kernel
well, ive been installing gentoo since last tuesday and I am very upset. I've run into one problem after another. Now I finallly get to building the kernel with genkernel all, it gives me this error. RROR: Failed to compile the "bzImage" target..
-- End Log... -- * Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any errors that were reportedabove * Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any errors that were reported above system was bootstrapped properlly with the correct settings for a Pentuim two. Here's the system specs: Pentuim2 Slot 1 450Mhz 192MB RAM... checked ok under memcheck86 GeForce 4 64MB DVD-ROM CD-ROM Netgear 10/100 Ethernet help will be appreciated... |
So did you look at /var/log/genkernel.log ?
|
I am not sure if this would be helpful, but it seemed kind of relevent

yes, this is the error that was in the log: ERROR: Failed to compile the "bzImage" target...

in that post he seemed to solve the problem by trying different kenel sources. You could always try a vanilla kernel from kernel.org
|
perhaps don't use genkernel at all? (would take longer, but at least it would give meaningful errors if any)

I agree with SciYro. Although I use gentoo I always roll my own kernels manually. You can emerge the sources, then build them manually. Check this link for the different kernels:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml Though you probably just want to use vanilla-sources or perhaps gentoo-sources. |
