While testing 5.4.197, I've noticed that it fails to boot our test image (the process is found in kernel-install.eclass). The boot fails with: switch_root: failed to execute /sbin/init: Exec format error Following sam's suggestion I've attempted to revert the following commit: https://github.com/gregkh/linux/commit/1fe82bfd9e4ce93399d815ca458b58505191c3e8 commit 1fe82bfd9e4ce93399d815ca458b58505191c3e8 Author: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Date: Mon Jan 31 16:09:47 2022 -0800 exec: Force single empty string when argv is empty After reverting it, the kernel booted successfully.
I'm sorry, it seems to have been an unfortunate quirk that just happened simultaneously in all builds. After retrying, both amd64 and x86 pass without the revert.
Reassigning properly so that it can be found more easily if someone else stumbles upon this during the dist-kernel process since it is not a gentoo-sources issue.
