Hi all!

Currently trying to upgrade my kernel from 6.6.21 to 6.8.8 (gentoo-sources, manual install) but the "make install" doesn't seem to want to copy my new kernel to /boot.

Here's a closer look at it:

Code:
# make install
[...]
  INSTALL /boot
Cannot find LILO.


and /boot remains free of any 6.8.8 file:

Code:
# ls /boot
System.map
System.map-6.6.21-gentoo-dist
System.map-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64
System.map-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64.old
System.old
config-6.6.21-gentoo-dist
config-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64
config-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64.old
efi
grub
initramfs-6.6.21-gentoo-dist.img
initramfs-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64.img
initramfs-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64.img.old
vmlinuz
vmlinuz-6.6.21-gentoo-dist
vmlinuz-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64
vmlinuz-6.6.21-gentoo-x86_64.old
vmlinuz.old


Symlink is ok afaik:
Code:
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
  [1]   linux-6.8.8-gentoo *


Really can't see what I am missing...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :roll:
I'd love to post my .config but wgetpaste left the building for now. :cry:

Please read https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2024-03-12-debianutils-installkernel.html as you are describing exactly what it is talking about.
It is copying, but not as a versioned kernel. See the news item for details.

Oops and thanks! :oops: :)

I'll be carefully reading all the news stacked on my system as a penance.
