After further discussion we have decided that it is better to have systemd's kernel-install use a 'backwards compatibility' layout by default to solve the problems that users have encountered. This allows us to keep USE=systemd as is (and therefore have kernel-install enabled by default on systemd profiles). It does require introducing a new USE=systemd-boot which users of systemd-boot should enable to ensure systemd-boot's native layout is used to install the kernels. Best regards, Andrew Title: installkernel new USE flag systemd-boot Author: Andrew Ammerlaan Posted: 2024-01-30 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: sys-kernel/installkernel[systemd] Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/systemd[boot] Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/systemd-utils[boot] /sbin/installkernel is a script called by the kernels 'make install' as well as by the distribution kernels post install phase. sys-kernel/installkernel provides two paths for installing the kernel: - the traditional installkernel, or - systemd's kernel-install In sys-kernel/installkernel versions lower then 20, systemd's kernel-install would default to the layout used for systemd-boot (layout=bls). To improve backwards compatibility with the traditional installkernel this is no longer the case in versions 20 and up. Instead the default layout setting when no other USE flags are enabled is a compatibility layout similar to the traditional installkernel (layout=compat). User Action Required (systemd-boot users) ==================== Users of systemd-boot should: - enable the "systemd-boot" USE flag when upgrading to >=sys-kernel/installkernel-20.
