Subject: [gentoo-user] genkernel not creating initramfs image file
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 12:12:13 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZgGUTdeYzqYLVDMw@carica> (raw)

Hello,

I'm upgrading to the new profile, so I need to get initramfs working, but
genkernel does not create the image needed.

the output is:

* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 4.3.10
* Using genkernel configuration from '/etc/genkernel.conf' ...
* Running with options: --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config --install initramfs

* Working with Linux kernel 6.6.21-gentoo for x86_64
* Using kernel config file '/usr/src/linux-6.6.21-gentoo/.config' ...

* mount: >> Boot partition was temporarily mounted on '/boot' ...

* Current kernel's LOCALVERSION is set to ''; Will ignore set --kernel-localversion value '-x86_64' because kernel was not built ...

* initramfs: >> Initializing ...
*         >> Appending devices cpio data ...

* You will find the initramfs in '/boot/initramfs-6.6.21-gentoo.img'.

* WARNING... WARNING... WARNING...
* Additional kernel parameters that *may* be required to boot properly:
*
* Note:
* You have set CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE=y.
* You will be unable to alter set kernel parameters ("root=/dev/sda4 intel_iommu=on iommu=on i8042.noloop i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.reset msr.allow_writes=on") at runtime!

* mount: >> Automatically unmounting boot partition from '/boot' as it was previously ...

* Do NOT report kernel bugs as genkernel bugs unless your bug
* is about the default genkernel configuration...
*
* Make sure you have the latest ~arch genkernel before reporting bugs.

genkernel does not fail it's execution, but no file on the directory.

I compile my kernels "by hand" (no external tools besides gcc and make), maybe
genkernel expects me to use it from start to finish for the compilation
process? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Dalmon Ian.
