After compiling the kernel, make install should copy the kernel image to the right place. It worked with sys-apps/debianutils-3.4.2, but now # make install sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.37-gentoo/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.37-gentoo arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ System.map "/boot" run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/kernel/postinst.d: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2 ------------------------------------------- running it manually: # installkernel 2.6.37-gentoo arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/kernel/postinst.d: No such file or directory ------------------------------------------- the kernel is installed anyway! suggestions: patch the install kernel to check this postinst directory for existense. Or include this (empty??) postinst.d directory in tha package.
/etc/kernel/postinst.d could be quite useful, for instance to simply run lilo (I tend to forget after a new kernel is added to /boot), so I am inclined to add the empty directory to the ebuild using keepdir.
Fixed in -r1. The installkernel script should probably check for its existence, but I doubt upstream would view that as a needed sanity check as upstream would install this directory anyway. :)

If it's not found, the script should simply not proceed to try to run its contents (as I suggested in my duplicate bug). Thank you.
