so i have multiple machines with gentoo in it, and in my server in vmware vsphere i have been stuck on kernel 6.6.13 for a while beacuse when i update it doesnt appear in /boot nor anywhere

Code:

uname -a
Linux ****-test 6.6.13-gentoo-dist #1 [OBFUSCATED]

yet

Code:

sudo eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-6.6.30-gentoo-dist

and

Code:

ls -l /boot/

Maybe 2024-02-26 - installkernel is no longer implicitly installed? Do you have sys-kernel/installkernel installed?

Eselect does not do anything other than managing where the /usr/src/linux symlink points to.

In the same time, kernels that are already installed in /boot are separate from what eselect list shows. They actually do not belong to any package. I'm not sure if this is true for the bin kernels, but it should be. If you delete the sources, eselect won't show them.

Better tell us what procedure you followed.

p.s. are you using a separate partition for /boot? Did you mount it in advance?

No manual action is required for users of the distribution kernels:
- sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, or
- sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin, or

I edited my replay before you posted yours. Please read ti again. Also, is this a BIOS/MBR system?

Also:

Code:

equery list sys-kernel/*

The kernel is likely in this subdirectory if installkernel is calling systemd's kernel-install. See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installkernel for how to control options to your liking besides the USE flags as well; including the traditional install locations. It could also be under /efi depending on the configuration.

you're right

Code:

ls fde5d4e1666643369b0542f386edc471/
6.6.28-gentoo-dist 6.6.30-gentoo-dist

and these are my only use flags ever

Code:

USE="-openmp systemd-boot"

# package.use# required by sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-6.6.13::gentoo[initramfs]

Code:

By setting systemd-boot USE, you signal installkernel that grub will be ignored and prepare for systemd-boot (formerly known as gummiboot) to be called instead.
This can be also overridden in a config file noted by the wiki page.

No, since you're using GRUB.
