Error Message: cp: cannot stat ‘arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage’: No such file or directory * ERROR: Could not copy the kernel binary to /data/datenhaufen/libvirt/genkerneltmp! tried versions: 3.4.45.1 and 3.4.47 -- both fail config: TMPDIR="/data/datenhaufen/libvirt/genkerneltmp" # has write permissions! INSTALL="no" called with: --kernel-outputdir=/data/datenhaufen/libvirt/genkerneltest Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use --no-install and custom --kernel-outputdir 2. call genkernel 3. error Actual Results: cp: cannot stat ‘arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage’: No such file or directory * ERROR: Could not copy the kernel binary to /data/datenhaufen/libvirt/genkerneltmp! Expected Results: copy should work -> copy should search for binary in KERNEL_OUTPUTDIR not in /usr/src/linux/ In the file gen_compile.sh the function find_kernel_binary from gen_funcs.sh is called. This function cd into KERNEL_OUTPUTDIR and searches the binary. Then it cd's back to the old curdir (/usr/src/linux). Then if not isTrue CMD_INSTALL the function compile_kernel tries to copy the tmp_kernel_binary to the TMPDIR. But this is not working because the tmp_kernel_binary is "arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage" but the pwd is not the KERNEL_OUTPUTDIR. Instead it searches the binary at /usr/src/linux. But there it doesn't exists.

What can I do to fix this? Any authority I can sent a patch to? It is only a small change of probably one or two lines.
From reading the source, the affected code wasn't changed within last 10 years. So I am not sure about > TMPDIR="/data/datenhaufen/libvirt/genkerneltmp" # has write permissions! Anyway, I cannot reproduce with latest genkernel git version. Please re-open if you are still able to reproduce.
