When the ${GRUB_CONF} file exists, the kernel file name doesn't get added to the ${GRUB_CONF} file correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set BOOTLOADER="grub" in /etc/genkernel.conf 2. genkernel all 3. look at the files in /boot/ 4. Compare it to the file names listed in the new entry of the /boot/grub/grub.conf Actual Results: title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.12-gentoo-r4) root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 ... initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 Expected Results: title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.12-gentoo-r4) root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 ... initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 This is the copied section from gen_bootloader.sh with the issue: # grub.conf already exists; so... # ... Clone the first boot definition and change the version. cp $GRUB_CONF $GRUB_CONF.bak awk 'BEGIN { RS="" ; FS="\n" ; OFS="\n" ; ORS="\n\n" } NR == 2 { ORIG=$0; sub(/\(.+\)/,"(" KV ")",$1); sub(/kernel-[[:alnum:][:punct:]]+/, "kernel-" KV, $3); sub(/initrd-[[:alnum:][:punct:]]+/, "initrd-" KV, $4); print RS $0; print RS ORIG;} NR != 2 { print RS $0; }' KV=$KV $GRUB_CONF.bak > $GRUB_CONF
We are aware of this bug and a patch is in the works, being tested at the moment.
Well, for me, it just copied a previous entry in the grub.conf. I always have two different kernels. I had one entry in there for a stable kernel, and then I made a new kernel using genkernel and the entry for the other kernel was just copied exactly. The previous kernel was a nitro kernel and I was compiling a cko kernel. They are nothing alike in name.
Fixed in 3.2.3, please test and reopen if issues persist, thanks!
