Which genkernel version from which repository are you using? genkernel.sh was removed in 2003(!).
My bad: /usr/share/genkernel/gen_initramfs.sh
You didn't answer my question, I asked > _Which genkernel version_ from _which repository_ are you using?
(In reply to Thomas Deutschmann from comment #3) > You didn't answer my question, I asked > > > _Which genkernel version_ from _which repository_ are you using? Genkernel 3.5.3.3 default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop profile [DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] location = /usr/portage sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage layman.conf is empty I am using zfs-9999/zmod-9999 as well.

OK, this problem is "fixed" for you in genkernel-4 because we now compile everything needed on our own and don't rely anymore on files on host system. However, based on my own testing, you will run into > A dynamic linking error occured: (/lib64/multipath/libchecktur.so: undefined symbol: logsink) > failed to initialize checkers error when booting an initramfs with domultipath. :( Because multipath is broken in genkernel since 2016 (caused by commit 19d8a784c9618926a4740c43fcc40ebb1bb5bf8b) and nobody complained I plan to remove entire non-working multipath support in genkernel-4. Patches are welcome.
The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/?id=f5abf1319b37b89f49264d8e944ac1a9e7547b4d commit f5abf1319b37b89f49264d8e944ac1a9e7547b4d Author: Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2019-10-13 13:58:22 +0000 Commit: Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2019-10-13 14:13:32 +0000 Don't compile multipath-tools; Copy from host multipath-tools package doesn't really support a static build: While we managed to build programs like multipath statically, it still relied on dynamic libs for checkers which we are unable to fix. This commit will change --multipath support in that way that we now require that sys-fs/multipath-tools is installed on host system because we will copy binaries and used libraries from host to initramfs. Due to this change, you can't add multipath support in cross- compile scenarios anymore.
