When doing classic make && make modules_install && make install on ARM64 system with the following /etc/kernel/devicetree file: cat /etc/kernel/devicetree: qcom/x1e80100-lenovo-yoga-slim7x.dtb it fails with the following: dracut[D]: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 13 11:55 var/lock -> ../run/lock dracut[D]: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jan 13 11:55 var/run -> ../run dracut[D]: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 13 11:55 var/tmp dracut[D]: ======================================================================== dracut[D]: dracut[D]: dracut cmdline: dracut[I]: *** Creating initramfs image file '/tmp/kernel-install.staging.X4dJde/initrd' done *** /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/50-dracut.install succeeded.

On arm64 it is required to run 'make dtbs_install' before 'make install'.
Thanks, I'll try it!
I tried again today with new gentoo-sources-6.13.0. Used this "oneliner": make -j12 && make modules_install && make dtbs_install && make install but it failed: dracut[D]: dracut cmdline: dracut[I]: *** Creating initramfs image file '/tmp/kernel-install.staging.9Y5ycv/initrd' done *** /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/50-dracut.install succeeded.

Set the equivalent of INSTALL_DTBS_PATH="/lib/modules/${KV_FULL}/dtb" in the environment. The default for the kernel is /boot, but the systemd-boot hook intentionally ignores /boot and instead finds the dtbs in the dtb subdirectory of the module directory.
