Whilst this might be just a tinderbox issue I like to file the bug here b/c I do not see what's wrong with the tinderbox setup (https://github.com/toralf/tinderbox/blob/master/bin/bwrap.sh#L112)

[Comment 6 Georgy Yakovlev 2022-01-17 11:46:02 UTC]

it tries to generate grub config and fails to read disks, probably due to combination of bubblewrap and namespacing.

nothing really to worry about and nothing we can do too.

error comes from sys-kernel/installkernel-gentoo[grub]

you probably want to never turn on USE=grub for installkernel-gentoo  for tinderbox runs.

[Comment 7 Georgy Yakovlev 2022-01-17 11:47:19 UTC]

on other hand maybe I can add some magic variable script reads, so it never attempts to run if it's set.

suggestions? =)

here's the hook that fails, for the record

Grub-mkconfig exits non-fatally in recent versions
