The only difference I see is that the -99999999 ebuild has this line: - "/${T}/make-amd-ucode-img" "${S}/amd-ucode" "${S}/amd-ucode.img" || die; While the linux-firmware-20240610-r2 ebuild has this: - "${T}/make-amd-ucode-img" "${S}" "${S}/amd-ucode" || die I'm not sure if the 99999999 ebuild is incorrect or not, seems like the "./" is not correct to me, as evidenced by the line: - /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999/temp/environment: line 2863: .//var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999/temp/make-amd-ucode-img: No such file or directory I had just removed the initramfs USEflag from linux-firmware because of the news item about Dracut (I don't use Dracut) but after rebuilding linux-firmware, I noticed that there was no amd-ucode.img in /boot (my system is AMD). Is the code in the 99999999 ebuild needed due to the changes for Dracut? Apart from that, it seems the argument ordering is wrong? Calling the script tells: - Usage: /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999/temp/make-amd-ucode-img <output image> <microcode directory> But the ebuild is calling it as "/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-99999999/temp/make-amd-ucode-img <microcode directory> <output image>"

> I'm not sure if the 99999999 ebuild is incorrect or not It is, I made a stupid mistake here. I usually run diff on the individual ebuilds to verify that I have applied fixes I made while debugging to all ebuilds, but I clearly neglected to do so here. Sorry. > I noticed that there was no amd-ucode.img in /boot (my system is AMD). Is the code in the 99999999 ebuild needed due to the changes for Dracut? USE=initramfs is responsible for making the early microcode initramfs image (/boot/amd-ucode.img). It either does so by simply making and installing that image itself (USE=-dist-kernel), or by delegating that task to /sbin/installkernel (USE=+dist-kernel). What's new is that there is now a little helper script (make-amd-ucode-img) to generate the microcode image to avoid code duplication in the ebuild and the installkernel hooks. Functionally it behaves the same.
Thanks Andrew, confirmed fixed! Btw, while writing the report I just discovered I've been hardcoding the firmware in the kernel config all along, but I forgot. Back to removing USE=initramfs again, lol.
