Hi,
One of the motivations for UsrMerge is to have all read-only parts of
the operating system in /usr. The kernel packages install files in /boot
though which isn't in line with that idea.
Looking at Fedora they install files like vmlinuz that used to be named
/boot/$name-$kver as (/usr)/lib/modules/$kver/$name instead. They
include /boot/$name-$kver as %ghost.
Since all necessary information is passed to
/usr/lib/bootloader/bootloader_entry in %post, that script could create
links or copies in /boot if needed.
Does anyone have a better idea or can we just follow Fedora's approach here?

I am wondering if there is any kernel available by default which offers kernel interrupt timer (CONFIG_HZ) at 1000 Hz. I checked preempt in 15.2 but there it is 250 Hz.
Why this is kept at 250 Hz there?
My use case is very special: my environment is dealing with high speed cameras and the low frequency is needed to be able to manage high frame speed at several thousand frames per second.
Right now I am using a special desktop kernel from a foreign source however I am wondering if there is any chance to have this into mainline LEAP distro available?
I know my use case is very special and I should be able to maintain my own kernel for this, however I am wondering if this would be a nice benefit of the LEAP distribution in general and why the preempt kernel is kept at lower frequency still...
Thanks
Thomas

strange thing, really!
Just found the culprit: somehow the "Hot Plug" bit for the SATA port
connected to the tray box got disabled in the BIOS. Really don't know
how this could have happened, but I guess it must have been during a
BIOS update as the misbehaviour could be reproduced on two otherwise
identical systems.
Cheers.

Hi,
some changes to the packaging infra not too long ago result in failed builds
of certain kernel module packages, eg:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/security:forensics/lime-k…
Here's a typical failing sequence:
[ 45s] + for flavor in default
[ 45s] + cp -a src obj-default
[ 45s] + pushd obj-default
[ 45s] ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/lime-1.9+git.20200809T155235.fa37b69/obj-default ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/lime-1.9+git.20200809T155235.fa37b69
[ 45s] ++ make -si -C /usr/src/linux-obj/x86_64/default ARCH=x86 kernelrelease
[ 46s] + kver=5.12.9-1-default
[ 46s] + make -j4 KVER=5.12.9-1-default KDIR=/usr/src/linux-obj/x86_64/default modules
[ 46s] make -C /lib/modules/5.12.9-1-default/build M="/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/lime-1.9+git.20200809T155235.fa37b69/obj-default" modules
[ 46s] make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.12.9-1-default/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
The reason is some wrong (packaged) symlinks in the kernel-$flavor-devel package.
After co/building the package, chroot into the build env_
abuild@xrated:~> cd /lib/modules/5.12.9-1-default/
abuild@host:/lib/modules/5.12.9-1-default> l

The build and source symlinks either miss another ../ or usr/ needs to go.
Best regards,
