 |
|
Hello,
I'm stuck on loading initial ramdisk when using a custom kernel (gentoo-sources, linux-6.6.21-gentoo )
I thought it might be because I'm using an nvidia driver so I looked on the wiki but that didn't help.
I'm using dracut.
These are the commands I use to edit my kernel: cd /usr/src/linux && sudo make clean && sudo make nconfig && sudo make modules_prepare && sudo make -j24 && sudo make modules_install && sudo make install && sudo emerge @module-rebuild && sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I don't know what else may be causing the issue. I double checked and I don't think that there's anything missing for the nvidia-drivers neither is it for linux-firmware
.config:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/functionexpression/34dee1785e62cdc3b028f98747f48212/raw
Thank you for the help. |

shieldoxacillin,
Welcome to Gentoo.
| Code: | | # CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE is not set |
All consoles are framebuffer now, even the old 80x24 VGA text console.
All may be well but you don't have and console output.
| Code: | | cd /usr/src/linux && sudo make clean && sudo make nconfig && sudo make modules_prepare && sudo make -j24 && sudo make modules_install && sudo make install && sudo emerge @module-rebuild && sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
Skip the make clean and make modules_prepare.
modules_prepare is no longer required.
clean removes all the existing binaries, that make might otherwise reuse.
I think modules_install is redundant with install but I don't use install.
If your kernel needs an initrd containing modules, you need to build the every time too.
| Code: | | # CONFIG_LOGO is not set |
is a menu. Enable that and choose a logo if you want to see a tux for every logical core at boot.

Thank you for help. I have applied these options. However, I have realised that dracut does not actually generate an initramfs for the gentoo-sources kernel.
| Code: | eselect kernel list

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a way to make dracut make an initramfs for gentoo-sources, it just keeps on creating an initramfs for the distribution kernel. |

Hello,
I have fixed the problem by using genkernel instead of Dracut
Thank you for helping me set other correct kernel flags though. |

FWIW, you just need to add the option --kver linux-6.6.21-gentoo for dracut to look at something besides what is booted (its default). |
