Installing from scratch, using networked install, I've built two |
| 2 |
kernels from 2.6.14 sources, each time the mods I'd listed autoload |
| 3 |
fail to be loaded and are apparently never built. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I resorted to usign genkernel since in the past that has always |
| 6 |
provided a working kernel and initrd. And sufficient modules. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This time, with current gentoo-sources, genkernel fails to complete. |
| 9 |
I've left it alone for over an hour, in two attempts now. It |
| 10 |
never returns a prompt and worse, no initrd appears in boot. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Running `genkernel --udev all' as directed by manual. after first |
| 13 |
having: |
| 14 |
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Again, as directed. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The manual does mention: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
"genkernel compiles a kernel that supports almost all hardware, this |
| 21 |
compilation will take quite a while to finish!" |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This is on a 2Ghz P4. Can anyone comment on how long `Quite a while' |
| 24 |
might be? I don't recall spending over an hour on this in past installs. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Or alternatively it seems one could just use /proc/config.gz as |
| 27 |
/usr/src/linux/.config and run it manually. Except I'm at a loss as |
| 28 |
to how an intitrd is built manually from a kernel compile. |
