Hi guys, today when I was updating my kernel, I was surprise genkernel failed to generate the initramfs (I use genkernel only for the initramfs). It's the first time I see genkernel fail
| Code: | alienware-m17-r3 /home/zohran # genkernel --install initramfs && grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg && emerge @module-rebuild
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 4.3.10

Building with sys-kernel/linux-headers-6.7-r1 will work.
Genkernel uses its own build file for busybox that does not include the busybox patch for sys-kernel/linux-headers-6.8-r1 |

Hello!
I had the same issue yesterday after kernel upgrades on two machines.
I am sure that I have updated mutliple kernels with this version of genkernel so the timing is interesting...
There is actually a bug that was opened back on April 4th: https://bugs.gentoo.org/928573 (tried unsucessfully to use the bug tag) which includes a patch that fixes this issue. If you download the patch and put it in "/usr/share/genkernel/patches/busybox/1.36.1/", the initramfs will complete properly (at least in my two cases it did).
Link to patch:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gentoo/genkernel/43a3b450c22875fa3b553652247191e5c51eebbb/patches/busybox/1.36.1/busybox-1.36.1-kernel-6.8.patch
There is a PR already open to address this but I don't know the status beyond that.
As I don't like manually placing files/patches as that requires manual cleanup, I may make a local genkernel ebuild to do this and/or just keep an eye on things.
Just an FYI and hopefully it will help someone.
Edit/Update:
This was initially for sys-kernel/genkernel-4.3.10.
Tested sys-kernel/genkernel-4.3.11 and the patch is still necessary.
Patch was included with sys-kernel/genkernel-4.3.12. |
