Unable to compile asahi-sources kernel

I have been following this guide with some changes made to account for the use of fedora instead of arch for the original asahi install following this pr. I have reached step 6, which involves simply cloning this repo and running the contained "install.sh" script. However, the kernel compilation exits with an "error 2" which I have no idea how to deal with.

output of install.sh:

kernel config (copied from running kernel by install.sh):

Any pointers? I believe it's a problem with the kernel config as it is copied from a prebuilt fedora kernel, however I have also experimented with custom kernel configs to the same result. I understand there are known issues with gentoo asahi right now but I am completely stuck.

m1v,

Welcome to Gentoo Forums !

All your links give a 404, just use a pastebin service.

Error code 2 usually says that a file was not found.

In addition to the kernel configuration, the output of "dmesg" would also be important (after you have started with a boot CD) because we get important system information there. An additional "lspci -nnk" would also be helpful ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Overview_of_System_Information ).

In the context of errno, yes, 2 is ENOENT ("No such file or directory"). However, from frequent reports of kernel compilation failures, I suspect that in this case the OP is referring to output like this:

I have fixed the pastebin links so the logs should be visible now. I will update with extra system information soon.

So your real error is:

Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Gentoo on ARM.

Apple Silicon is aarch64, so belongs here.

i merged dev-util/pahole, which fixed the previous issue and allowed me to get noticeably further through the compilation than before.

however, i have reached a new issue. during compilation, i receive a few dracut errors complaining about being unable to install systemd.

i would strongly prefer not to use systemd, but i was unable to find the options in menuconfig to change the init system.

i started using this fork of the scripts included in the asahi linux wiki as they have been updated to support fedora. also followed the advice of this thread and added "omit_dracutmodules+=" systemd " to my dracut config, but this had no effect.
