Not sure what genkernel does then. It produces a somewhat working CD. In the case of Serial ATA, the naming changed in the kernel between the two versions, so you won't have *any* SATA support if you're using a 2.6.17 kernel configuration. > - Just try "livecd/type: generic-livecd".

Well, gentoo-release-* make changes to the output. They ignore certain options you've defined and replace them with Release Engineering standardized ways of doing things. At some point in the future, they'll be diverging even more, since gentoo-release-minimal and gentoo-release-universal are likely to be re-worked to use busybox by default at some point in the upcoming development branch of catalyst, after 2.0.x goes stable. > >(I got it from their .spec - file). Remember that our spec files are made to work with our snapshot and produce our output. As soon as you start changing any of the many variables (snapshot, profile, seeds, etc) you make changes you're not aware you're making and can break the build in numerous ways. Our spec files are really provided for our own use and not really for general consumption. They're great as a guide, but you need to read the example specs that ship with catalyst and are documented. The example specs are the current authoritative source of documentation for catalyst and explain each spec file key. If there's one that you feel isn't documented well enough, then feel free to file a bug and we'll fix it.=20 > So did I :S.

Certain versions of catalyst require certain versions of genkernel. You'll want to be using 3.4.7 (and actually, 3.4.7-r1 once I add it to the tree on Monday). --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-V+C9d1rtao6b8qv7jFX+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGGOrlkT4lNIS36YERAmLPAJ4oVoGDO6IrwvvMrfYkQILvjJr4YQCfSQmY 4og6Xy14xfDvZ3S4LDFtSU4= =bBUm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-V+C9d1rtao6b8qv7jFX+-- -- gentoo-catalyst@gentoo.org mailing list
