on my system, eclean-kernel removes all kernels, saving only the active one, because "vmlinuz does not exist" but it does exists. look here, does not seems to be the expected result: eclean-kernel -p -D * Trying bootloader lilo * Trying bootloader grub2 * Trying bootloader grub ** /boot/grub/grub.conf found * In get_removal_list() Preserving currently running kernel (3.8.5) These are the kernels which would be removed: - 3.8.2: vmlinuz does not exist - 3.8.3: vmlinuz does not exist - 3.8.4: vmlinuz does not exist Preserving currently running kernel (3.8.5) These are the kernels which would be

Created attachment 344072 [details, diff] Debugging help patch Hmm, it seems that it does not map the modules to the right kernels... Are you using the live version (-9999) maybe? If yes, then please upgrade it and use 'eclean-kernel -l' afterwards. I've added reporting of 'real KV' as used to look for the modules. You can also download and apply the attached patch by hand: $ cd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ $ patch -p1 < /tmp/0001-Report-real-KV-in-list-kernels.patch
I'll do that right now; in the meantime, using strace I got this output, maybe it can be interesting: 3632 lstat("/lib", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=5, ...}) = 0 3632 lstat("/lib", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=5, ...}) = 0 3632 readlink("/lib", "lib64", 4096) = 5 3632 lstat("/lib64", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4542, ...}) = 0 3632 lstat("/lib64", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4542, ...}) = 0 3632 lstat("/lib64/modules", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=40, ...}) = 0 3632 lstat("/lib64/modules/b'3.8.2'", 0x7fff91e599c0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3632 lstat("/lib64/modules/b'3.8.2'/build", 0x7fff91e599c0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3632 stat("/lib/modules/b'3.8.2'", 0x7fff91e5a240) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3632 stat("/lib64/modules/b'3.8.2'/build", 0x7fff91e5a240) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3632 lstat("/boot", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 3632 lstat("/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.8.3", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3658000, ...}) = 0 3632 open("/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.8.3", O_RDONLY) = 3 Not sure where the "b" letter in modules path came from, but it seems a bit weird, isn't it?
btw: I'm using 0.3.2 of eclean-kernel: calvin ~ # equery uses eclean-kernel [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for app-admin/eclean-kernel-0.3.2: U I - - python_targets_pypy1_9 : Build with PyPy 1.9 - - python_targets_python2_6 : Build with Python 2.6 + + python_targets_python2_7 : Build with Python 2.7 - - python_targets_python3_1 : Build with Python 3.1 + + python_targets_python3_2 : Build with Python 3.2 and /lib is a symlink to /lib64
(In reply to comment #2) > 3632 stat("/lib64/modules/b'3.8.2'/build", 0x7fff91e5a240) = -1 ENOENT (No > such file or directory) > > Not sure where the "b" letter in modules path came from, but it seems a bit > weird, isn't it? That would be it :). It's beauty of Python locale handling. b'xxx' means it's a bytestring or binary data which didn't get converted to utf-8 string properly. Thanks for all the feedback, it is a real pleasure working with you :). I've just released and committed 0.3.3 which should fix the issue. Feel free to reopen if it persists.
I can confirm that the solution works, many thanks for the quick fix!!!
