This is a new one for me. I use sys-boot/refind for a boot loader. My /boot actually lives on my / partition, and my /dev/sda1 is my FAT formatted EFI partition.

I have a mount point for the EFI partition at /boot/efi, however I generally leave it unmounted....but in today's updates that's causing the pre-merge check errors:
Code:
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests

>>> Running pre-merge checks for sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240610-r1
 * Assuming you do not have a separate /boot partition.
 * Assuming you do not have a separate /efi partition.
 * Your /boot/efi partition is not mounted
 * Please mount it and retry.
 * ERROR: sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240610-r1::gentoo failed (pretend phase):

>>> Failed to emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240610-r1, Log file:

It appears it would have tried to continue after that as well. I'm going to go ahead and mount it.

Does anyone know why that's apparently now required? Thanks in advance.

Tom

A similar problem was reported in Failed to emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240610-r1. You may not have the same solution, but I found the post from AndrewAmmerlaan to be informative. USE=initramfs is default-enabled in recent versions of linux-firmware, and as I read that post, USE=initramfs controls whether this check is done (and some later work, which depends on the check succeeding). If you don't need the ebuild to do that later work, you could disable USE=initramfs.

Thanks! That totally makes sense, and no, I don't need any iniramfs. Thanks!
