Good evening.
I tried to update the system to the noew profile today, and it failed.
the intel-microcode seems to be the showstopper.
after an emerge intel-microcode I get:
Code:

!!! copy /var/tmp/portage/sys-firmware/intel-microcode-20240514_p20240514/image/boot/intel-uc.img -> /boot/intel-uc.img failed.
!!! [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: b'/boot/intel-uc.img#new'


boot is:
Code:

/dev/sda1 /boot vfat rw,lazytime,nosuid,noatime,gid=25,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0



How to fix?

Hi,

Please post your emerge --info and the entire intel-microcode ebuild build.log containing the error.

Make sure your /boot partition is mounted...

I suspect this is the issue.

The eclass enforces that /boot is mounted read-write, but these masks may interfere with the install. Please try again without these options.

By the way, if you don't need a microcode initramfs (e.g. because the microcode is built into the kernel), then you can safely disable the "initramfs" USE flag and then the ebuild will not write to /boot to begin with. The default setting for this flag was changed from disabled to enabled relatively recently.

Yes, that fstab line is copypasta from an older fstab file. I've removed the gid=25. and disabled the initramfs useflags in intel-microcode and linux-firmware(it gave a similar error) for now. At the moment system is compiling. Will try reinstalling intel-microcode when the system is in a more acceptable shape.
