Bug 218984 – installkernel not compatible with make install for ppc[64]

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Garrett Cooper 2008-04-23 06:04:11 UTC]

The arguments going into installkernel from make install for PPC are:

sh -x /usr/src/linux-2.6.24.4/arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh "2.6.24.4" vmlinux System.map "/boot" arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.chrp

instead of something like (from x86):

exec /usr/src/linux-2.6.24.4/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.24.4 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"

I read the directions and realized that make install is broken on ppc[64]. I'm going to include minimal changes for fixing this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(cd /usr/src/linux && make && make install)
Actual Results:  
A make install error :(.

Expected Results:  
An [semi-vanilla named] installed kernel and crew :).

Fix for install.sh kernel

Intended to fix install.sh for PPC[64].

We don't patch vanilla-sources. Either the included target is gentoo-sources, or push it upstream.

[Comment 3 Garrett Cooper 2008-04-24 19:31:41 UTC]

I'll bring this up with the kernel.org guys then..
