It fails now, as does 3.12.21-r1. Fortunately, I always keep 2 kernels around. The production kernel is call "Production" and new builds always go as "Experimental". I use lilo to select the version to boot. Only after booting and running successfully for a couple of weeks do I run my "promote" script which copies the Experimental kernel and map and .config backup files over top of their Production equivalants. So my Production kernel is not screwed up. > The kernel build system uses perl (not sure about python), so I always > wonder if perl-cleaner may help fix strange new errors. I tried both "perl-cleaner --all" and "perl-cleaner --reallyall", but I still have the problem. Is there a way to manually run depmod? > I'm guessing you're running gentoo-stable on that machine?
