[gentoo-catalyst] Problems with genkernel and busybox

[Carl Flippin]

I'm trying to build a box with LVM and reiser4 and, since I can't find
a livecd with that support, I'm rolling my own. I'm using a fairly
stock spec file as stolen from the releng page. The only changes made
are adding reiser4tools to the package list in the stage1 spec and
changing the kernel sources to mm-sources in the stage2 spec. The
masked kernel is unmasked with a change to package.keywords in the
stage1 directory after stage1 completes.

After the kernel compile, however, genkernel craps out saying:

"Could not extract busybox source tarball"

I turned the debug level all the way to 5 on genkernel but I can't get
any more detail on the error. I checked the forums but couldn't find
anything directly relevant. Any ideas where I should look? I'll be
happy to send any config files you need but didn't want to spam the
list with them unnecessarily.

Thanks,
Carl Flippin
