hi, I am trying to build a linux kernel (vanilla from ftp.kernel.org) in my chrooted new root.
make modules install failed with: CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '/usr/share/v86d/initramfs' make[1]: *** [usr/Makefile:73: usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:988: usr] Error 2 make bImage fails with (chroot) make bzImage CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CHK include/generated/bounds.h CHK include/generated/timeconst.h CHK include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '/usr/share/v86d/initramfs' make[1]: *** [usr/Makefile:73: usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:988: usr] Error 2 I look for the magic v83d and found (being at my old root) [I] sys-apps/v86d Available versions: 0.1.10 {debug x86emu} Installed versions: 0.1.10(02:34:27 02/28/11)(x86emu -debug) Homepage: https://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/ Description: A daemon to run x86 code in an emulated environment Is this "quite normal" or does the make process of the kernel make false conclusion while being chrooted? Do I really need initram? ... For years I though my grub had booted the kernel which runs my linux directlu... My commandline to build the kernel at my old root was: kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-4091200-64-RT && make -j7 all && make -j7 modules_install && /bin/cp -f ./arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage* $kernel; emerge nvidia-drivers ;emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-modules ;grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg whjch had. v86d is not installed yet and of course I will install it if needed. But I want to get shure, that the chrooted environment has not confused the kernel build process... Thanks for any help in advance! Cheers Meino
