Posted: Thu Dec 21, 2023 10:39 am Post subject: gentoo-kernel : call custom installkernel [SOLVED] |
|
|
Hi!
I am testing gentoo-kernel and it does almost what I do manually, but I would like to install and name new kernel items using my custom install script.
I see in /usr/src/linux/scripts/install.sh that I can overwrite installkernel by using my scripts in ${HOME}/bin, but I tried to create a script in /var/lib/portage/home/bin and it is not called during emerge / install of gentoo-kernel: actual installkernel-gentoo is called. Also tried in /root/bin without success...
How can I define my custom installkernel script called automatically by make install ?
EDIT: SOLVED
from this post
Ionen wrote: | gentoo-kernel first merges the (stripped) sources alongside the kernel in /usr/src/, then in pkg_postinst() it'll call /sbin/installkernel (default provided by installkernel-gentoo) to copy the kernel to /boot, roughly the same `make install` would do.
This installkernel script itself runs any executable scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/* with $1 being kernel version, and $2 path to the kernel.
These scripts can be used for whatever needed, grub setup, efi stub installs, cleaning or backing up old kernels/modules, etc... With a little work most things can be automated if not a too exotic setup, and with the new USE=dist-kernel even third party modules get rebuilt without user workarounds now (albeit need portage >=3.0.13 to solve a portage bug when multiple modules). |
I simply add a postinstall hook to move versioned files to a my required folder, and remove what I don't need:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/99-EFI.install: | #!/bin/env bash
ver=${1}
echo === CUSTOM SCRIPT
mkdir -pv /boot/EFI/gentoo
mv -v /boot/config-${ver} /boot/EFI/gentoo/config
mv -v /boot/vmlinuz-${ver} /boot/EFI/gentoo/bootx64.efi
rm -v /boot/*${ver}* |
or for an ARM system (pinebook pro): /etc/kernel/postinst.d/99-pinebook-pro.install: | #!/bin/env bash
ver=${1}
echo === CUSTOM SCRIPT
mv -v /boot/dtbs/${ver}/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb /boot/
mv -v /boot/config-${ver} /boot/config-gentoo
mv -v /boot/vmlinuz-${ver} /boot/Image-gentoo
rm -vrf /boot/*${ver}* /boot/dtbs/ |
bonus: how to disable dracut /etc/portage/package.use/gentoo-kernel: | sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel savedconfig -initramfs
sys-kernel/installkernel-gentoo -dracut |
/etc/portage/profile/package.use.force/gentoo-kernel: | sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel -initramfs |

I tuned in since I could probably utilize such feature, if possible. But meanwhile:
One place where you can customize the kernel name is kernel config itself. But that's only the name.
I have /etc/kernel/config.d/naming.config where I rename my kernel.
More advanced, although workaround, way would be to use /etc/kernel/postinst.d and place a script there which would then move and/or rename your kernel to your needs. Every script there will be run and given these arguments: <kernel version> <path to the new kernel>
From there it's pretty easy to construct a script to do whatever you want. I have my custom initramfs script there.
EDIT: Then there's the possibility the create your own installkernel script and ebuild which would then provide virtual of installkernel. :P _________________ ..: Zucca :..

Thank you Zucca,
I will report on the progress in this thread, updating the OP when something is relevant. _________________ Kind regards,

Maybe the answer lies in gentoo/eclass/kernel-build.eclass at kernel-build_src_install()? _________________ ..: Zucca :..

Finally, I will try with a post-install hook : move the versioned files from /boot to my preferred place _________________ Kind regards,

Finally, I use the hooks and it works
- one pre-install to disable dracut (which is forced for nothing, I don't use it and don't want an intramfs) : delete the dracut hook and replace it with a dummy script
- one post-install which moves the needed files to other locations (EFI, u-boot partition, other names...) and deleted unwanted files (initrd, unneeded DTBs for my ARM boards)
I will automate the deploy of those scripts in /etc/portage/bashrc (pre-install phase of gentoo-kernel) and it will be then too annoying _________________ Kind regards,

no, the USE flag is forced, and dracut is pulled by dependencies and called during installkernel
I will later re-check, I could have missed something...
At least it works and I don't need to manual reconfigure / build /kinstall the kernel on all my Gentoo installations _________________ Kind regards,

I do not see that flag as forced, and apparently Zucca does not either. What is the output of USE=-initramfs emerge --pretend --verbose sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel ; emerge --info for you? |

Add sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel{,-bin} to the entry forcing USE=initramfs
on dist-kernels. It was originally supposed to apply to all
dist-kernels (i.e. kernels using generic config), and it was my mistake
not to add new kernel packages to it.

even with USE=-initramfs on gentoo-kernel, dracut is called because the hook in /etc/kernel.
I will try to see how to not set that hook (debianutils, USE="-dracut")
EDIT: USE="-dracut -initramfs" + -initramfs in package.use.force did the trick to disable and unmerge dracut _________________ Kind regards,

So.
I'd need to put following lines Code: | sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel -initramfs

sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel -initramfs | ... into /etc/portage/profile/package.use.force/dist-kernel toa) avoid pulling dracut as an depency
b) avoid compiling and generating any stuff needed by initramfs creation process by dracut
... and hopefully things continue working as-is? _________________ ..: Zucca :..

b) avoid compiling and generating any stuff needed by initramfs creation process by dracut
... and hopefully things continue working as-is? |
+ USE="-dracut" (for sys-kernel/installkernel-gentoo)

xaviermiller,
Thanks for summarizing you results!
Maybe for those finding this thread later you could add a quote from lonen in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1128103-start-0.html Quote: | This installkernel script itself runs any executable scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/* with $1 being kernel version, and $2 path to the kernel. |
This could be even included in the installkernel manpage, as there is no mention of scripts at all.
Personally, I wasted some time with the "executable" part... |

xaviermiller,
with all the results we have here, I think it belongs to "Documentation". If you dont like it please tell me.
Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Documentation, Tips & Tricks. _________________ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger |

For completeness and future reference, adding here the link to the new installkernel wiki page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installkernel
Also, overriding the USE=initramfs package.use.force is no longer necessary, nowadays instead of forcing the flag we print a big warning if it is disabled. _________________ OS: Gentoo 6.10.12-gentoo-dist, ~amd64, 23.0/desktop/plasma/systemd
