In version 4.2.3, genkernel was perfectly happy to generate an initramfs for a monolithic kernel (the kernel itself built with CONFIG_MODULES=n, and BUILD_STATIC=yes in genkernel.conf), and, when doing so, did not require any userspace module handling software to be installed. In version 4.2.5, the same configuration now fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a static kernel with CONFIG_MODULES=n. 2. Set BUILD_STATIC=yes in /etc/genkernel.conf. 3. Uninstall sys-apps/kmod and any other userspace module-loading software. 4. Run “genkernel initramfs”. Actual Results: I expect successful generation of an initramfs without any (unneeded) module loading support. Expected Results: # genkernel initramfs * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 4.2.5 * Using genkernel configuration from '/etc/genkernel.conf' ... * Running with options: initramfs * ERROR: kmod not found.

In commit https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/?id=153a877d333d3b85920267535aef950056c92192 we added a check for kmod. We probably need to make it conditional but also need to update is_kext_supported_by_kmod() to make it work without kmod.
The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/?id=c790b6e2c5bd4841a7469bdd8f6e3eee8bf82453 commit c790b6e2c5bd4841a7469bdd8f6e3eee8bf82453 Author: Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2021-11-15 00:19:31 +0000 Commit: Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2021-11-15 01:24:49 +0000 gen_determineargs.sh: determine_real_args(): Make kmod only required for non-static kernels Fixes: 153a877d ("Refactor (compressed) kernel module handling") Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/821484 Signed-off-by: Thomas Deutschmann <whissi@gentoo.org> gen_determineargs.sh | 15 +++++++++------ gen_funcs.sh | 2 +- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
