Running eclean-kernel with -A (ask prior deletion) -n 3 (leave most recent three kernels), the script is attempting to delete current kernel!
here is output from eclean-kernel -A -n 3:
| Code: | root@seedz:~# eclean-kernel -A -n 3
Note: referenced kernel does not exist: /boot/root/16
Remove genkernel-x86_64-4.19.7-gentooSeedz-00 (vmlinuz does not exist, not referenced by bootloader (grub2))? [Yes/No]n
Remove genkernel-x86_64-4.20.6-gentooSeedz-00 (vmlinuz does not exist)? [Yes/No]n
Remove genkernel-x86_64-4.19.10-gentooSeedz-00 (vmlinuz does not exist, not referenced by bootloader (grub2))? [Yes/No]n

so if eclean-kernel was run like this, then most recent and second and third most recent current kernels would be deleted!
as in 4.20.6, 4.20.5, 4.19.10
so how can I check if this some funkiness in my Gentoo setup?
thanks in advance! |

That's interesting. What is the kernel you're running at the moment / what's the output of:
And it might be interesting to see the content of your /boot with the date when each file was put into it. So, what's the output of:
And which kernels are in the config-file of your bootloader? If you're using sys-boot/grub (which is what's implicated in your post) it should be:
| Code: | | /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
If you're not comfortable with the syntax you could easily run
| Code: | | grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
This should reconfigure grub.cfg automatically depending on the content of /boot. After a reboot your machine should run the latest kernel out of those in your /boot.
Then I would expect eclean-kernel to give you reasonable results.
Greetings,
Andy
