Bug ID: 252834
Summary: custom kernel: setting "makeoptions KERNEL=x" does not
change name of installed kernel
Product: Base System
Version: 12.2-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: free...@ohreally.nl
Hi,
The comments in /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES suggest that the name for a new kernel
can be modified by including "makeoptions KERNEL=x" in the configuration file.
#makeoptions KERNEL=foo #Build kernel "foo" and install "/foo"
This does not work.
I tried twice, setting the variable to '2021011901' and 'kernel-2021011902'
respectively (and removing the hash sign at the beginning of the line,
obviously), but the new kernel was still installed as /boot/kernel/kernel.
> grep -rs 20210119 /boot/
Binary file /boot/kernel/kernel matches
> strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep 20210119
makeoptions KERNEL=kernel-2021011902
