example for kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r3. initramfs in cache directory is named initramfs-2.6.19-gentoo-r3 also, in grub.conf initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.19-gentoo-r3 should be written initrd /initramfs-2.6.19-gentoo-r3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. genkernel --no-install --no-clean --evms2 --kerneldir=/usr/src/linux all
No, it shouldn't. The name is correct.
(In reply to comment #1) > No, it shouldn't. The name is correct. > If i'm right, --no-install does not install the files in /boot. genkernel modifies grub.conf if /boot is accessible and let the user the choice to copy them manually from the cache directory to /boot. Next reboot the box will not be able to boot again. Grub will not find the initrd file in /boot because both names are not identical (in grub and in the /boot directory) The idea would be to give identical name to the files in the cache directory and their equivalent in grub.conf in order to avoid confusion.
genkernel doesn't touch grub.conf at all unless you call it w/ --bootloader=grub; if you do then I fail to see what's the point of using --no-install at the same time.

All the files in CACHE_DIR have an genkernel-XYZ extension except for the file initramfs-XXX. I did not intend to annoy you with that. Just my 2c.
