With a recent Tumbleweed snapshot (probably 20211023), the utility installkernel was removed from /usr/sbin. Without this code, a kernel 'make install' returns "Cannot find LILO.".
Honestly, I don't get the point of the commit message:
Nowadays, /sbin/installkernel is only used by developers who compile their own kernels on the target system.
Are developers compiling their own kernels no longer welcome or no longer supported? Obviously, a couple of tumbleweed users ("only developers") will now have to dig out the script from github or an old rpm (like I did). Wouldn't it be possible to keep the source file "dracut-installkernel" e.g. in /usr/lib/dracut/ as a template? Or put it in a devel package, as I understand that development files don't necessarily have to come with the dracut main package. Kind regards Bernhard
