Hi! I'm not sure who to blame, but the below commit breaks the kernel binrpm target for me. It produces a faulty grub2 config. After installing such a kernel grub2 looks for vmlinuz-XY-rpm and initrd-XY-rpm. These files are not existing and the machine does no longer boot. Luckily an addition boot entry without the -rpm suffix exists, if remote access works one can recover the machine. My question is, why do we need these copy of vmlinuz anyway? After calling installkernel on the -rpm variants you delete them again... This <insert swear word here> happens on openSUSE 13.1, maybe their installkernel script needs fixing. commit 3c9c7a14b6274074cc3af2b83d56a92547188f27 Author: Mike Marciniszyn <mike.marciniszyn@intel.com> Date: Mon Jun 24 10:38:22 2013 -0400 rpm-pkg: add %post section to create initramfs and grub hooks /sbin/installkernel is used to insure grub hooks are inserted and the initramfs is created on the target system. The invokation installkernel will work with any kernel as long as: - /sbin/installkernel exists - the kernel and sysem map files are readable Signed-off-by: Mike Marciniszyn <mike.marciniszyn@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> diff --git a/scripts/package/mkspec b/scripts/package/mkspec index fdd3fbf..0aa6a24 100755 --- a/scripts/package/mkspec +++ b/scripts/package/mkspec @@ -112,6 +112,15 @@ echo "" echo "%clean" echo 'rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT' echo "" +echo "%post" +echo "if [ -x /sbin/installkernel -a -r /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE -a -r /boot/System.map-$KERNELRELEASE ]; then" +echo "cp /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm" +echo "cp /boot/System.map-$KERNELRELEASE /boot/System.map-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm" +echo "rm -f /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE /boot/System.map-$KERNELRELEASE" +echo "/sbin/installkernel $KERNELRELEASE /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm /boot/System.map-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm" +echo "rm -f /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm /boot/System.map-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm" +echo "fi" +echo "" echo "%files" echo '%defattr (-, root, root)' echo "%dir /lib/modules" Thanks, //richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
