 Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 8:08 am Post subject: [SOLVED] How keep linux--4.14.8-r1 kernel? |
 |
|
After last system updating I get this portage's massages:
| Code: | * Messages for package sys-fs/udisks-2.7.4-r1:
* Could not find a Makefile in the kernel source directory.
* Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a complete set of Linux sources
* Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version for build, attempting to use running version
* You should reboot the system now to get /run mounted with tmpfs!
* Messages for package gnome-extra/gnome-color-manager-3.24.0:
* If you want to do display or scanner calibration, you will need to
* install media-gfx/argyllcms
* Messages for package app-misc/tracker-1.12.4:
* Could not find a Makefile in the kernel source directory.
* Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a complete set of Linux sources
* Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version for build, attempting to use running version |
Also see that have only old source kernel:
| Code: | select kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-4.9.76-gentoo-r1 |
However I am using this kernel (genkernel):
| Code: | uname -a
Linux new-host.home 4.14.8-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Sat Dec 23 12:54:19 IST 2017 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
| Code: | /usr/src $ ls -l
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 23 11:55 linux -> linux-4.14.8-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Dec 23 22:04 linux-4.12.12-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 11 08:00 linux-4.14.8-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jan 21 12:31 linux-4.9.76-gentoo-r1

I know about issues with 4.14 but I am not affected. So in order to keep my 4.14.kernel I saw this topic:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1074546.html
But after adding =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.8-r1 ~amd64 to package.accept_keywords (Is it ok?),
and re-updating system, still have same issue. Please advise hoe to keep 4.14 kernel?

| Just install 4.14.14, no reason to stay on old .8. |

Looks like a depclean took out the sources but left the ancillary files and therefore the redundant directories intact.
4.14.8 isn't in the tree any more, so update your package.keywords to include | Code: | | =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.14 ~amd64 |
install the 14.14 sources, copy your 14.8 .config, config and build the .14 and manually add | Code: | | sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.14 |
to /var/lib/portage/world to stop depclean "cleaning" it in future.
That should sort you out until the next spectre style scandal... |

pmam,
Don't keep that kernel, its not Meltdown/Spectre proof.

I have done all your tips: Added 4.14.14 to package.keywords and emerge it,
then copy configuration genkernel from the old kernel:
| Code: | | # genkernel --kernel-config=/etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86_64-version_you_want all |
and after compilation everything work ok 
Also added sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.14 to /var/lib/portage/world
Now I want to delete old kernel - Please advise how to do it: By rm from /usr/src or unmerge?
Thanks you all

pmam.
| Code: | | emerge --depclean -a =gentoo-sources-<ver> |
will remove gentoo-sources-<ver> source code from /usr/src and the entry from portages database of installed packages.
Importantly, gentoo-sources will remain is your world file.
You can now remove the remains from /usr/src with the rm command.
The kernel will still be in /boot and its modules will be in /lib/modules/ until you remove them.
It will still work until you do that. Don't be in too much of a hurry though, as its always good to have a spare working kernel around, it saves finding your install media.
I purge old kernels when /boot is nearly full and keep two old ones.
