+To be consistent with kernel's own naming which allows for easier |
| 30 |
+matching of kernel/initramfs with kernel files (/lib/modules), |
| 31 |
+genkernel 4 changed default kernel and initramfs filename: |
| 32 |
+ |
| 33 |
+ kernel-genkernel-%%ARCH%%-%%KV%% -> vmlinuz-%%KV%% |
| 34 |
+ System.map-genkernel-%%ARCH%%-%%KV%% -> System.map-%%KV%% |
| 35 |
+ initramfs-genkernel-%%ARCH%%-%%KV%% -> initramfs-%%KV%%.img |
| 36 |
+ |
| 37 |
+Note that in genkernel 4, filenames are fully customizable and that |
| 38 |
+$ARCH value is now part of $KV value by default. |
| 39 |
+ |
| 40 |
+All bootloaders and utilities like sys-apps/kexec-tools available in |
| 41 |
+Gentoo repository support the new naming schema. |
| 42 |
+ |
| 43 |
+However, due to lexical ordering, the default boot entry in your boot |
| 44 |
+manager could still point to last kernel built with genkernel before |
| 45 |
+that name change, resulting in booting old kernel when not paying |
| 46 |
+attention on boot. |
