Leap-15.4 vanilla kernel "make install" broken
I did an upgrade today using a DVD. I built and run vanilla kernels. All was going well until I did a "make install". What I got was this: harley:/usr/src/linux-5.15.46# make install arch/x86/Makefile:142: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 5.15.46 \ arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" Cannot find LILO. harley:/usr/src/linux-5.15.46# On 15.3 the kernel install scripts call /sbin/installkernel from the dracut package. That file seems to be missing from 15.4. Is there a reason why? Thanks Mark

https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/P... care to open bug report? Nobody from those who loudly complained on mailing list apparently did it.

OK, it is in package kernel-install-tools now.

So the question now is what do you call "vanilla kernel". Package kernel-install-tools is recommended by kernel-source, so should be installed in this case. It is not recommended by kernel-source-vanilla or kernel-source-rt which is actually a bug If "vanilla kernel" means tarball from kernel.org - well, this sounds more like a topic for a wiki. I do not know whether there is wiki page dedicated to *compiling* kernel under (open)SUSE.

I am referring to a kernel tarball from kernel.org. But no matter what kernel it is, the "make install" rule in the Makefile will be the same. So I don't understand why it was removed from the dracut package? Thanks for quickly adding it to the kernel-install-tools package though. Regards Mark
