Just filed bug 824282. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In the past, I've always done "make kernel, make kernel_modules, make |
| 4 |
install, make modules_install, genkernel initramfs ...". |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This worked fine, and I then ran grub-mkconfig, sorted out grub.cfg, and |
| 7 |
all was well. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
My new setup, I have a /boot WHICH I WANT TO SORT OUT MYSELF! I got |
| 10 |
thoroughly confused because genkernel was finding /boot in fstab, |
| 11 |
mounting it by default, and sticking the initramfs there. So of course, |
| 12 |
grub-mkconfig screwed up because the kernel was in the /boot directory, |
| 13 |
but the initramfs was in the /boot partition! |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
So I told genkernel not to mount the boot partition ... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
WAH WAH WAH FATAL ERROR YOU WON'T LET ME MOUNT BOOT SULK SULK SULK. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If I tell it not to mount boot then that's my lookout, not for genconfig |
| 20 |
to nanny me and sulk! |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And it gets worse. I've always done "make modules_install, genkernel |
| 24 |
initramfs". Which now seems to be an unsupported option. genkernel is |
| 25 |
now looking in /var/tmp/genkernel/... for the modules - no surprise the |
| 26 |
modules aren't there! The error says "did you forget to compile the |
| 27 |
kernel" - no I didn't - it is compiled, the modules are installed, I |
| 28 |
just didn't use genkernel to do it. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Why oh why does everything change ... for the worse ... now let's see if |
| 31 |
allowing it to mount the boot partition makes it work properly ... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
and allowing it to mount boot made everything work perfectly afaict ... |
| 34 |
what a mess ... |
| 35 |
|

Cheers, |
