|
|
I was going to deploy a new gentoo VM today and upon booting up I was greeted with the same thing.
Now I'm no gentoo wizard but I decided to investigate this by rolling back a snapshot of another Gentoo VM and low and behold it seemed to be something with the 6.6.21 Kernel
Apparently, when you run make install, it thinks you have LILO bootloader and doesn't move the kernel into the /boot directory correctly. as evidently from this output:
| Code: |
[root@livecd /usr/src/linux ] # mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot
[root@livecd /usr/src/linux ] # make install
INSTALL /boot
Cannot find LILO.

Notice the error:
Anyone else encountering this?
Oddly enough, this doesn't occur with kernel 6.6.13 as if you run make install it produces this output:
| Code: |

Another odd thing is that
running genkernel --mountboot --install --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config all would actually produce a working Grub entry meaning it installs the kernel properly.

Ah, That was my bad then, I don't read eselect news due to the use of automated scripts. I guess I should start reading them,
thanks, sir. The problem was resolved on my end.
