 |
|
Hi All,
I have a problem with make install command after kernel compilation.
The kernel complies itself correctly. However when I'm trying to run "make install" command I get following error:
| Code: |
sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 4.12.12-gentoo arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-runlilo 4.12.12-gentoo /boot/vmlinuz-4.12.12-gentoo
Fatal: open /boot/bzImage: No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-runlilo exited with return code 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/Makefile:191: install] Error 1
make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:290: install] Error 2
|
Additionally the "find" gives following feedback:
| Code: |
xxxxxx /usr/src/linux # find -name bzImage
./arch/i386/boot/bzImage
./arch/x86/boot/bzImage
|
I was playing a lot with folder /boot by deleting partition creating it again. Maybe by mistake I've removed something what was not there... The ls from /usr/src/linux is:
| Code: |
Dorado /usr/src/linux # ls
arch crypto fs Kconfig mm README System.map vmlinux.o
block distro include kernel modules.builtin samples tools
certs Documentation init lib modules.order scripts usr
COPYING drivers ipc MAINTAINERS Module.symvers security virt
CREDITS firmware Kbuild Makefile net sound vmlinux
|
BTW - the make install is copying the files into /boot but this creepy message make me crazy 
Any feedback appreciated.

What are the contents of /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-runlilo ?
Judging by the output, it's looking for /boot/bzImage and failing at that point. It makes sense that it wouldn't exist since make install copies the kernel with the version info intact.
I assume you are using sys-boot/lilo rather than grub? |

It looks that by mistake I've removed folder boot from kernel sources...
After creating it again in /usr/src/linux and /usr/src/linux/arch the issue disappeared.
Thank you for feedback and Regards. |

Did you try reinstall the kernel sources to remedy this?
Normally I would perform:-
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make clean |
if I wanted to cleanup the contents of the kernel source directory. |
