I finally succeeded into building stage1. Now I built 3 stage2 isos, and I want to add some kernel-dependent packages, such as nvidia-drivers or unionfs. genkernel launches the emerge command all right; everything goes fine until an ebuild (here, nvidia-drivers; last time, speedtouch-usb) tries and update module dependencies. depmod fails; the ebuild attempts to "do it manually" (no idea of how). The computer then freezes more or less quickly, and my ext3 fs gets corrupted. I managed to find back genkernel's trace...
---genkernel log--- * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 * Updating module dependencies for 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 ... [ ok ] * Updating modules.conf ... * Updating /etc/modules.conf ... [ ok ] * Updating /etc/modprobe.conf ... * Warning: could not generate /etc/modprobe.conf! [ !! ] * Updating /etc/modprobe.conf by hand ... ---end genkernel log--- I couldn't find anything matching moprobe or depmod or modules-update or whatever in the list or in bugs.gentoo.org so I'm posting here before filing a bug to see if I could have missed something. Needless to mention I don't run the same kernel on my machine as the one that goes on the cd ( I use 2.6.18-suspend2-r1 ). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
