Hi all.
This may be more of a problem with genkernel (3.4.8), but perhaps someone here
has an idea of what's wrong.
On building x86 livecd stage2 on amd64, the initramfs _sometimes_ ends up
containing mostly empty files:
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 [
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 ash
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 busybox
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 cut
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 echo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 asmundg asmundg 479420 Oct 3 13:00 insmod
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 mount
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 asmundg asmundg 396 Oct 3 13:00 udhcpc.scripts
-rwxr-xr-x 8 asmundg asmundg 0 Oct 3 13:00 uname
There are no obvious errors in the output, and subsequent rebuilds often get
it right again. I would blame the hardware, if not for the fact that nothing
else is failing. Is anyone familiar with these symptoms?
I haven't seen that before, but you're obviously using an "older" (not
3.4.9_pre3) version of genkernel, since you've got an actual insmod binary
instead of it being built into busybox. You should try using _pre3, because we
always need testing :) Also, most of those 0-length files are supposed to be
symlinks to /bin/busybox. Do you have a /bin/bb?
