I am trying to build / install funtoo from a stage 3 tarball using the latest 1.3-release and hitting a snag with kernel compilation. All other packages (from what I can tell) are being properly fetched to /var/cache/portage/distfiles and installed. During the kernel compilation (specifically, when generating the initramfs), I'm getting an error:
Could not find source tarball /usr/share/genkernel/src/open-iscsi-2.0-872.tar.gz. Please refetch.
This is occurring for any files that are required for the init such as busybox and open-iscsi (which oddly enough should not be in my init), I manually copied a file there to see that it'd resolve it and it did just resolve that single one, but I don't want to do it piece meal.
Now, the files are in distfiles (/var/cache/portage/distfiles) and I am thinking I can symlink /usr/share/genkernel/src/ to distfiles, but is that required or is there something else broken that is causing this? I did check the install guide and don't see anything alluding to that. I also grepped /etc for any such configuration also to no avail.
EDIT:
symlinking /usr/share/genkernel/src to /var/cache/portage/distfiles worked and I was able to install gentoo sources.
