I've just used genkernel to build a kernel from
gentoo-sources-2.6.18-gentoo-r1. The build ended with:
* Copying config for successful build to
* /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r1
* initramfs: >> Initializing...
* >> Creating base_layout cpio archive...
* >> Creating auxilary cpio archive...
* >> Creating busybox cpio archive...
* >> Creating insmod cpio archive...
* >> Creating modules cpio archive...
* Merging
* initramfs-base-layout.cpio.gz
* initramfs-aux.cpio.gz
* initramfs-busybox-1.1.3+gentoo.cpio.gz
* initramfs-insmod-0.9.15-pre4.cpio.gz
* initramfs-modules-2.6.18-gentoo-r1o.cpio.gz
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.1[0m
* Running with options: all
* ERROR: Could not copy the initramfs to ${BOOTDIR}!
* -- Grepping log... --
* -- End log... --
* Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any
* errors that were reported above.
* Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and

* effectively.
Checking /var/log/genkernel.log doesn't seem to provide any more info
about what went wrong. In /boot are new kernel, initramfs, and
System.map files, so the build succeeded at least to that extent. When
I boot the new kernel, I _do_ get a kernel panic - preceded by the
following lines:
Mounting /proc filesystem
Creating block devices
failed to create /dev/hda
... /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/hda5, /dev/hda6, /dev/hda7, /dev/hda8
failed to create /dev/hdb
... /dev/hdb1, /dev/hdb2, /dev/hdb5
Creating root device
mkrootdev: mknod failed: 30
mounting root filesystem
Mount: error 2 mounting ext2
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
FWIW, /proc file system support (PROC_FS) _is_ included
in .config.
Any thoughts on what I should look for to solve this problem?
Thanks.
David
