 Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2024 4:35 pm Post subject: Cannot find LILO by kernel installing |
 |
|
Hi,
during my Gentoo install, I compile the kernel 6.6.6.21 (make menuconfig/make/make install/make modules_install).
On the step
I receive a message:
| Code: | INSTALL /boot
Cannot find LILO |
The first line has always been before. The second line appeared for the first time. At the same time, two file System.map and vmlinuz are copied to/boot. The postfix "...-6.6.21-gentoo" is missing, the corresponding configuration file (config-6.6.21-gentoo) is missing too.
When performing
| Code: | | grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
says it can't find a compiled kernel image. Loading the boot menu is empty and cannot be loaded. Previously, there were no such problems with this method of compilation.
Unfortunately, I cannot understand what is the reason for such kernel installations (modules are installed normally) and how this can be fixed. I use new 23.0 profile and go into kernek source tree over symlinkk /usr/src/linux and not direct, over /usr/src/linux-6.6.21-gentoo.
Thank you very much. |

st834,
A long time age Lilo was a popular boot loader. Its about all there was until what is now grub-legacy came along.
The kernels own install script tries to update /enc/lilo and unsurprisingly, you don't have it.
What is more surprising is that you don't have Gentoos sys-kernel/installkernel, which provides an override to the kernel internal make install.
What were you expecting to do for you?

NeddySeagoon, Thank you for your answer.
I expected (and always got the output before without mentioning LILO). The reason most likely lies in the news cited by grknight above.
I installed manually installkernel, but it didn't get any easier. I think this is because I didn't update the @world set (and at the same time did not merged 115 packages into it) in the previous step when I was selecting a profile and setting the USE variable.
In more detail, I described the reasons here why I did not: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1168059.html |

Thank you for this. I missed this news item, but it explains everything very clear.
