 Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:55 pm Post subject: Genkernel error: Failed to create binpkg of util-linux |
 |
|
I am running an upgrade of the linux kernel. I am using the following script to upgrade the kernel:
| Code: |
# Copy the previous kernel config
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config
# cd to the new kernel source directory
cd /usr/src/linux
# Update the .config file
make olddefconfig
# Diff the config files
diff <(sort .config) <(sort /home/myusername/my-config) | awk '/^<.*(=|Linux)/ { $1=""; print }'
diff <(sort .config) <(sort /home/myusername/my-config) | awk '/^>.*(=|Linux)/ { $1=""; print }'
# Backup this .config file
cp .config /home/myusername/my-config
# Compile the kernel
genkernel --kernel-config=/home/myusername/my-config --menuconfig all
|
I get the following output which includes an error when creating initramfs. What could be causing the error?
| Code: |

Read that log for the true problem. Post it to a paste site and share here if unsure how to interpret it. |

Yes, I am not sure how to interpret the errors in pidfd_open and pidfd_send_signal functions as shown in the log.
I have pasted a tail of the genkernel.log file here: https://pastebin.com/FAfEFVKf |
