 |
|
Hi Gentooers,
How can genkernel to change the name of the new kernel to the value CONFIG_LOCALVERSION set in .config?
Genkernel v3 was able to do this simple task, however it seems this is too difficult for v4 without extra help.
I set up kernel .config variable "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" the name of the host and a version numer as in -<hostname>-<version_number>
eg "-beanz-04"
However when genkernel is run, the kernal name is appended with "-x86_64" instead of -<hostname>-<version_number> which then makes extra work to manually rename the kernel so as to keep the different versions.
I attempted to edit /etc/genkernel.conf and changed "KERNAL_LOCALVERSION"
| Code: | | KERNAL_LOCALVERSION="$(grep 'LOCALVERSION=' .config | awk -F "\"" '{print $2}')" |
However this didn't work and genkernel used -x86_64 instead.
genkernel details below:
| Code: |
$ eix genkernel
[I] sys-kernel/genkernel
Available versions: 4.0.10{tbz2} 4.2.5 4.2.6-r2{tbz2} **9999*l {+firmware ibm PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8 python3_9 python3_10"}
Installed versions: 4.2.6-r2{tbz2}(05:06:57 12/12/21)(firmware -ibm PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_9 -python3_8 -python3_10")

thanks in advance for your help!

These are the relevant items
| Code: |
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y
|
Maybe set the second to "n" and set the desired version in the first.
At any rate
| Code: |
KERNA(E)L_LOCALVERSION=
|
seems wrong grammatically.

Hi alamahant
Well spotted!

This was the error!
After correcting the error, replacing the .config genkernel had rewritten with the original earlier .config, rerunning genkernel with the updated genkernel.config, the KERNEL_LOCALVERSION was added.
Thank you!  |
