steps : $ sudo genkernel --makeopts="PATCHLEVEL=0 EXTRAVERSION=-test -j4" --kerneldir=`pwd` all $ ls -d /boot/*test+ /lib/modules/*test+ /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.14.0-rc33.0.0-test+ /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-3.14.0-rc33.0.0-test+ /boot/System.map-genkernel-x86-3.14.0-rc33.0.0-test+ /lib/modules/3.0.0-test+ The last is expected, but the first 3 are awefully and prevents an automated bisecting of a kernel issue - beside wasting the /boot directory Probably a dup of #bug 426338 ?
And there's a real issue too : $ sudo genkernel --makeopts="PATCHLEVEL=0 EXTRAVERSION=-test -j4" --kerneldir=`pwd` kernel initramfs * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.45.1 * Running with options: --makeopts=PATCHLEVEL=0 EXTRAVERSION=-test -j4 --kerneldir=/home/tfoerste/devel/linux kernel initramfs * Using genkernel.conf from /etc/genkernel.conf * Sourcing arch-specific config.sh from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/config.sh .. * Sourcing arch-specific modules_load from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/modules_load .. * Linux Kernel 3.14.0-rc3 for x86... * .. with config file /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/kernel-config * kernel: Using config from /usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/kernel-config * kernel: --mrproper is disabled; not running 'make mrproper'. * >> Running oldconfig... * kernel: --clean is disabled; not running 'make clean'. * >> Compiling 3.14.0-rc33.0.0-test+ bzImage... * >> Not installing firmware as it's included in the kernel already (CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y)... * >> Compiling 3.14.0-rc33.0.0-test+ modules... * >> Generating module dependency data... depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.14.0-rc33.0.0-test+: No such file or directory depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
This is already fixed, it now runs a make depend before creating the version number, use the 3.5 series.
