 |
|
Hello, friends!
For a awhile, I stuck with gentoo-kernel-bin to avoid rebuild the kernel for a minute, but I decided to go back just to try.
Weird thing happens, though. Upon going through the savedconfig I had for 6.6.35, updating some things, installing sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, using dispatch-conf to update the kernel config from savedconfig, re-emerging the kernel with the new kernel config with some changes to harden the kernel and then restarting, I run into some weird stuff.
I reboot just fine, log in, but apparently IWD crashed. Weird, so I try running it manually (executable is in /usr/libexec/):
| Code: |
DES support not found
No CBC(DES3_EDE) support found, certain TLS connections might fail
The following options are missing in the kernel:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CBC
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DES
The following optimized implementations might be available:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DES3_EDE_X86_64
|
Okay, weird. I didn't mess with any of those in the kernel config when I was editing it. If I grep for those options in the savedconfig kernel config, all of those options are there, all set to either y or m.
Okay, let's look at what's in /usr/src/linux/.config....hm, okay that's all the same, too. Uh...use zgrep on /proc.config.gz?
| Code: |
/usr/bin/zgrep: line 254: /bin/gzip: Permission denied
/usr/bin/zgrep: line 269: /bin/grep: Permission denied
|
What? Okay, do I need to do it as root? Nope, same permission denied messages.
Uh, okay, I guess look at the config file in /efi/EFI/Gentoo?
Oh, uh, the vfat filesystem type isn't known? Now it's getting weirder.
I find this post:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-714737.html
And see the following reply:
| djinnZ wrote: | verify if you have not the old fat (CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y) support enabled (it tends to prevent the correct recognition of the filesystems) and are you sure than vfat is not present in the /proc/filesystems file (note than you must have CONFIG_FAT=y also)?
Is not normal, the only thing able to break the fat support is a misconfiguration in the codepages.
Have you build the kernel with genkernel? Try to remove the archived configuration and in every case do a make mrproper and reconfigure it from zero.
Just to be clear: if CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y you must have the codepages selected in CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE and CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET builtin, or modular only if CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m or the kernel modules autoload works properly.
By example I have: | Code: | CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
# CONFIG_MSDOS_FS is not set
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=850
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-15" |
and | Code: | CONFIG_NLS=y
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="utf8"
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=m
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850=y
CONFIG_NLS_ASCII=m
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=m
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_15=y
CONFIG_NLS_UTF8=y |
to prevent mistakes. |
Okay, I look at the kernel config I've edited in the /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.74 and see CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y. That's one thing.
The other thing is CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m and it's not CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y. Likely doesn't matter, but I change it anyway.
I'm currently recompiling the kernel with the changes I've made the kernel config. Now the question is...can I reboot and things will work? If /efi isn't mounted and the vfat filesystem isn't known to the version of the kernel I was actually able to boot and recompile the kernel with, will it just failed at the end?
Do I need to boot into a live USB environment to update and recompile the kernel? |

alecStewart1,
You need to be able to install the kernel binary and update grub.cfg.
Neither of those need to be an a VFAT filesystem.. Only grub.efi must be on the ESP (VFAT) and that need not change.
It all depends on your partition/filesystem layout.
You should be able to add VFAT as a module to your running kernel. Then you can modprobe vfat before you use it to mount anything.
No reboot required. However, the kernel and all of its modules must be built with identical versions of gcc.
A missing /boot or /efi filesystem driver can be fixed on the fly.

I don't use a bootloader.  I use ugrd as well and not dracut, as dracut stopped creating bootable initramfs for me altogether.

Ah, of course. I forgot you can enable modules on the fly. I'm kind of curious as to how MSDOS_FS got enabled to my kernel config, as I don't recall adding it.
Well, I already got onto my live USB environment (vfat is in /proc/filesystems after mounting and chrooting into the device that has Gentoo on it) and I'm recompiling the kernel. Good thing for me to remember in the future, though.
I'll report back if the changes to the kernel config worked. |

The changes to my kernel config didn't fix things.
I did the following:
| Code: |
$ modprobe vfat
$ mount -a
$ sync
|
Tried restarting iwd, it crashed, ran /usr/libexec/iwd -d and got same message about the missing crypto modules as mentioned above.
I'll post my emerge --info and kernel config here in a second.
installkernel USE flags:
efistub ugrd
ugrd version:
2.0.0
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel USE flags:
debug experimental hardened initramfs modules-compress modules-sign savedconfig strip |

alecStewart1,
As you use an EFI stub kernel, that must be installed to the ESP partition.
That mean that your running kernel must be able to write VFAT to install a new kernel.
Your choices are
build VFAT support as a loadable module for your running kernel (if you can).
Use another kernel with VFAT support for the install phase of the new kernel.
