Subject: [gentoo-catalyst] stage4 kernel config for genkernel?
Date: Sat, 09 Feb 2013 07:15:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130209121552.GA1795@odin.tremily.us> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1502 bytes --]

The handbook steps for setting up genkernel are [1]:

  # emerge gentoo-sources genkernel
  # genkernel --menuconfig all  # optional
  # genkernel all

If you stay conservative (e.g. ext2/3 boot partition), there's no need
for the menuconfig step.  However, when I try and build a stage4
using:

  # cat default-stage4-i686-2013.1.spec
  …
  boot/kernel: gentoo
  boot/kernel/gentoo/sources: gentoo-sources
  # catalyst -f spec/default-stage4-i686-2013.1.spec

I get:

  /proc is still mounted; performing auto-bind-umount... Auto-unbind successful...
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/catalyst/catalyst", line 214, in build_target
      mytarget.run()
  File "modules/generic_stage_target.py", line 1290, in run
      apply(getattr(self,x))
  File "modules/generic_stage_target.py", line 1420, in build_kernel
      if not os.path.exists(self.settings["boot/kernel/"+kname+"/config"]):
  KeyError: 'boot/kernel/gentoo/config'
  !!! catalyst: Error encountered during run of target stage4

What's changed?  Why do I need to seed catalyst with a config file,
when I don't need to from the handbook instructions?  Maybe this usage
is just unimplemented because nobody has needed it yet?

Thanks,
Trevor
