[gentoo-user] OT - Win4Lin

[Michael Sullivan]

Does anybody know what happened to Win4Lin in portage?  The package
itself seems to be masked, and sys-kernel/win4lin-sources is completely
gone...

!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- app-emulation/win4lin-5.1.1 (masked by: package.mask)
# J. Alberto Suárez López <bass@gentoo.org> (13 Oct 2006)
# Masked pending removal for 13 Nov 2006.
# netraverse don't support gentoo more, and users can
# use the w4l installer.

OT - Where are the modules (WAS: Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Win4Lin)

[Michael Sullivan]

I went to www.netraverse.com and found out that the newest patch for
Win4Lin for SMP kernels is 2.6.11.  I have to tell you that no kernel
I've ever built myself (as in without genkernel) has booted.  I
downloaded 2.6.11 kernel source from www.kernel.org , and it seems to
have built correctly.  I followed the following steps:

cd /usr/src
tar xvfj /home/michael/linux-2.6.11.12.tar.bz2
rm linux; ln -s linux-2.6.11.12 linux
cd linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make bzImage
make modules

I didn't apply the patch because I wanted to see if I could get the
vanilla kernel to work before altering it.  Everything seemed to build
correctly.  As I've had many many problems with trying to boot kernels
without an initrd (on top of the fact that no manually-built kernel has
worked), I emerged mkinitrd.  WWhen I tried to use it, it gave me an
error saying that /lib/modules/linux-2.6.11.12 is not a directory.  An
ls showed me that it didn't exist in any form.  My question is where are
the modules that were built?  Can I just move the modules over (once I
find them), or do I need to create some type of subdirectory structure?

The steps you're following look like *some* of the steps for compiling a 2.4 
kernel. Perhaps you should read these:

# make modules_install
is what you need [1]
