Created attachment 898381 [details, diff] Draft idea for patch (Not working) As part of the project to move all Live media images from Genkernel to dist-kernel, we have now reached a blocker requiring a feature that allows a custom kconfig to be copied to /etc/config.d/kernel before sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel is emerged in the second stage of livecd creation in Catalyst. Overview idea: 1. In a spec file have the ability to set boot/kernel/dkconfig: <location of config in releng dir> 2. Move this to /etc/config.d/kernel in catalyst before kernel is emerged 3. Compile kernel as already exists in code Area of interest: Code change likely needs to be around the area of https://github.com/gentoo/catalyst/blob/daa4b94f6ef54ac9325de6d9e0a30415400e9ed9/catalyst/base/stagebase.py#L1663 Attempt made so far: oldfashionedcow from IRC has made a quick patch which seems to work but causes a failure during kernel compiling. This might be of interest as a starting point but I lack the skills in this area to be able to probe and confirm.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/catalyst.git/commit/?id=836744689e0cc09a1a0a89b7272142d5dfb99bd4 commit 836744689e0cc09a1a0a89b7272142d5dfb99bd4 Author: Ian Jordan <immoloism@gmail.com> AuthorDate: 2024-07-30 18:27:34 +0000 Commit: Ben Kohler <bkohler@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2024-08-22 18:39:53 +0000 Add Dist-kernel kconfig support Based on the orginal patch by oldfashionedcow to add the abilty for a user to set a custom kconfig for their livecd to be moved to /etc/kernel/config.d/ before sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel is emerged. Syntax is the same as the one used for Genkernel kconfigs.
