Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been trying to get genkernel to use a newer version of dmraid. |
| 4 |
For some reason, genkernel is using a build from 2006 (!) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've tried an ubuntu livecd which uses a build that's available in |
| 7 |
portage that works with my fakeraid. All this to try to dual-boot |
| 8 |
using a raid 1+0. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I've discovered /etc/genkernel.conf has settings for this, so I tried |
| 11 |
changing them: |
| 12 |
----- |
| 13 |
#DMRAID_VER="1.0.0.rc14" |
| 14 |
DMRAID_VER="1.0.0.rc16" |
| 15 |
DMRAID_DIR="dmraid/${DMRAID_VER}" |
| 16 |
#DMRAID_SRCTAR="${DISTDIR}/dmraid-${DMRAID_VER}.tar.bz2" |
| 17 |
DMRAID_SRCTAR="/usr/share/dmraid/dmraid-1.0.0.rc16-3-prepatched.tar.bz2" |
| 18 |
DMRAID_BINCACHE="%%CACHE%%/dmraid-${DMRAID_VER}-%%ARCH%%.tar.bz2" |
| 19 |

|
| 21 |
After that I issued a `genkernel --lvm --dmraid initramfs` and got this: |
| 22 |

I can see that the dmraid directory is invalid, but I do not know how |
| 53 |
to correct this? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I've not tried making an initramfs myself (I do not know how) but have |
| 56 |
been building my own kernels since 2004. I couldn't really find |
| 57 |
anything on genkernel after googling other than the basic usage. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Can anyone help? |
