I have never had an issue updating linux-firmware until now...

I would like some help with this situation. Let me know how to proceed.

I'm also having this problem, though it's complaining about `/boot` not being mounted instead of `/boot/efi`. This is my fstab:
| Code: |
UUID=47addb00-ba3b-47f0-b18d-772b11d5dc16 /home ext4 defaults,lazytime 1 3
UUID=992750a3-6e5b-47b4-83a3-6db0bc0a13aa none swap sw 0 4
UUID=b30e713d-11a9-40b4-834f-3b1543254786 / xfs defaults,noatime 1 0
/dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot vfat noauto,umask=0077 1 2
|
This is what `ls -lAh /boot` gives me:
| Code: |

I suspect it's not directly related to this package, though, as emerging `sys-firmware/intel-microcode` fails with the same error. |

I don't believe this is the problem as I have updated the linux-firmware package a couple times since that news item came out. |

As far as I can tell there were some recent changes to the mount-boot.eclass:
| Quote: | ] [PATCH 1/5] mount-boot.eclass: check for ESP as well as /boot, split, eclass
2024-06-26 20:06 |
https://public-inbox.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/uzfr7f2pb@gentoo.org/t/
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/mount-boot.eclass/index.html
| Quote: | | If the live system has a separate /boot partition or ESP configured, then this function tries to ensure that it's mounted in rw mode, exiting with an error if it can't. It does nothing if /boot and ESP isn't a separate partition. |
Whether that has any bearing on your issue, I can't say.
This is what I see when trying to update linux-firmware to latest stable:

Relevant line from fstab (I notice yours does not use UUID format for /boot) :
| Code: | UUID=50F2-A3C4 /boot/efi vfat defaults,noatime 0 2
|
ls /boot:
| Code: |
config-6.9.7-zen efi grub initramfs-6.9.7-zen.img System.map System.map-6.9.7-zen vmlinuz-6.9.7-zen
|
Note that I mount the EFI partition to /boot/efi. Your setup may be different. |

When I set up Gentoo I was mounting the EFI partition to /efi as it showed in the docs. Something else didn't like that so I changed it to /boot/efi, but had a brain fart when editing my fstab and made it /boot. The reason why `ls /boot` worked was because the directory had stuff in it already. Since `mount` refuses to mount into a directory that isn't empty, mounting failed. Nothing shows up in dmesg, which is weird.
Anyway, I changed my fstab to mount the EFI partition to /boot/efi instead of /boot and everything works fine now. For some reason using the UUID given from blkid doesn't work and `mount` claims it can't find the partition, so I had to use /dev/nvmen1p1 instead.
Thanks everyone! |

Here is my fstab:
| Code: |
PARTUUID=b360a3e9-bade-e246-bf9e-61ab56e70d75 /boot/efi vfat defaults 12
PARTUUID=0625846f-85dc-114b-b3fd-a2279443ada9 / ext4 defaults,noatime 01
PARTUUID=7f1ad158-2b23-904c-aeea-1a0c2f1feefb /home ext4 defaults,noatime 01
|
However lsblk shows that partition not mounted but I can access /boot...
| Code: | tux ~ # lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS

Mounting the partition to /boot/efi fixes the issue but I would like to understand why this changed and why I now have to do an extra step to update the linux-firmware package this way when I never had to in the past.
| Code: | tux ~ # mkdir /boot/efi
tux ~ # mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi

I can't say why the vfat volume is not mounting at boot. Does your fstab really use 12 (with no space between the numbers) on the end of the relevant line?
| Code: | | PARTUUID=b360a3e9-bade-e246-bf9e-61ab56e70d75 /boot/efi vfat defaults 12 |
Why not try this instead (0 1 instead of 12), with a space between the two numbers at the end?
| Code: | | PARTUUID=b360a3e9-bade-e246-bf9e-61ab56e70d75 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1 |
Reboot and see if it mounts correctly?
Also, find the UUID (vs PARTUUID) for the vfat partition. Use a GUI tool (with a live cd if you must -- gnome disks or KDE partition/disk utility for example). For a VFAT volume it will usually be only 8 characters/digits. Change your fstab to reflect that. |

It does have a space however it was a tab not a single space.
I don't recall my reasoning for those dump and pass values but I do remember that I did quite a bit of reading before I wrote that fstab.
I added an actual space between those values. I will reboot and see what happens. If it still does not mount after that I will try "0 1".
Thanks for the extra set of eyes.  |

As far as I can tell there were some recent changes to the mount-boot.eclass:
Whether that has any bearing on your issue, I can't say. |
Yes that is the change that causes linux-firmware and intel-mircocode to complain about an unmounted /boot/efi
And that is related too indeed.
I did not think this change required an extra news item, considering that the solution should be clear if an error would be raised, i.e. solution is to mount the EFI System partition to the mount point specified in /etc/fstab. Let me provide some background information here though.
The packages linux-firmware and intel-microcode install CPU microcode for AMD and Intel respectively. However, when these packages are upgraded, the used CPU microcode is not directly upgraded. This is because the kernel applies CPU microcode updates at boot, it can do so either via an initramfs, or via building the microcode into the kernel directly.
Building the microcode into the kernel is a manual process that is not really important for the issue at hand, so lets focus on the initramfs method instead. Both linux-firmware and intel-microcode provide the initramfs USE flag, when this flag is enabled portage will ensure that new CPU microcode is propagated to the kernel at the next boot via an initramfs. These packages will do so either by building and installing their own microcode initramfs images (if the dist-kernel USE flag is disabled), or by simply calling sys-kernel/installkernel to re-install the currently selected kernel (if the dist-kernel USE flag is enabled). This part is also described in the news item mentioned above.
Which brings me to the next part, which is instalkernel. This package provides several ways of automating the kernel installation, we either write the kernels to /boot (if e.g. USE=grub or USE=refind), but we may also write the kernels to the EFI System Partition (if e.g. USE=systemd-boot, USE=efistub, or USE=uki). For this to work, the used partitions should obviously be mounted. However, it is not really feasible for portage (specifically mount-boot.eclass) to beforehand know what installkernel is going to do. Therefore, portage (i.e. mount-boot.eclass) detects if the system is booted in UEFI mode, and if so it enforces that both /boot and the EFI System Partition are mounted.
If you now see a complaint when installing linux-firmware and/or intel-microcode, you can do two things. Either 1) mount the EFI System Partition, and try again, or 2) disable the initramfs USE flag. However, please only disable the initramfs flag if you are using an alternative method for updating the CPU microcode (e.g. you're building it into your custom configured kernel), otherwise CPU microcode updates will not be applied which means you're missing out on important (security) fixes.
Hope that clarifies this a bit.

Thank you, that does indeed clarify the situation.
I will reboot now and see if the fstab changes I made allow for the /boot/efi partition to be mounted automatically. |

That seemed to fix the mounting issue as the partition is now mounted correctly at boot.
For future reference a tab is not parsed the same as a space. I added a space before each tab in my fstab, the tabs make it legible but the spaces are required for the proper parsing it seems.
| Code: | tux ~ # cat /etc/fstab
PARTUUID=b360a3e9-bade-e246-bf9e-61ab56e70d75 /boot/efi vfat defaults 1 2
PARTUUID=0625846f-85dc-114b-b3fd-a2279443ada9 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
PARTUUID=7f1ad158-2b23-904c-aeea-1a0c2f1feefb /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1

Thanks for the help from everyone! |
