I updated genkernel to last version: 3.5.1.0 and recompiled my kernel-4.11.7. After reboot, kernel not load and show this message: "invalid magic number". I did downgrade genkernel to 3.5.0.8 and everything worked again. ---- # emerge --info sys-kernel/genkernel Portage 2.3.6 (python 3.5.3-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma, gcc-6.3.0,

I've hit this one as well. I found the kernel it's producing is an EFI PE32+ executable. I wonder if this is because it's parsing EFI_STUB from the kernel config. To workaround I manually copied arch/x86/boot/bzImage from the built kernel sources over the top of the resulting kernel in /boot

After rebooting to the bzImage+initrd, I've discovered it neglected to include mdadm modules in the initrd (required for this system's boot) despite being told to in config and commandline. 3.5.1.0 isn't ready
I have the same issue. This is caused by genkernel because the original bzImage is fine: # file /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 4.11.7-gentoo (root@localhost) #1 SMP Tue Jun 27 15:46:22 MSK 2017, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x3, Normal VGA # file /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-4.11.7-gentoo /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-4.11.7-gentoo: PE32+ executable (EFI application) x86-64 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows+ It seems that this commit broke the things: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/?id=c2525c65b9f3d5849963bab6beb40817d7720218
It seems that patch in bug #209387 does something wrong and should be rolled back and revised.

Adding --no-strip fixed the broken bzImage, but there is also something wrong with initramfs too. It does not load scsi drivers, resulting in "Could not find the root block device". I think someone should open a separate bug report for this.
Genkernel 3.5.1.0 breaks booting from raid arrays.
Can you please confirm that using "--no-strip" in genkernel's cmdline will fix the problem? If not, it is not cause by https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/genkernel.git/commit/?id=c2525c65b9f3d5849963bab6beb40817d7720218

It does not fix the missing kernel drivers though, but that's the subject for another bug report.
PMASKED for the moment, https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=2db5f9926ec5fe7235e60a10cc98d83756f77d40 Could anyone experiencing the the strip problem please attach his/her kernel config and tell us if he/she is using a bootloader or plain EFI?

Hey, I ran into this problem. Just using genkernel made an unbootable image with "invalid magic number" error message. After adding --no-strip parameter, it loaded the image, but failed to boot because it couldnt find partitions (same error as mentioned in this bug earlier). Downgrading genkernel to 3.5.0.8 fixed everything and made a kernel upgrade bootable. I can attach my kernel config, but Im not sure if Im using a bootloader or EFI. Im quite sure though that Im using a bootloader.
Created attachment 478282 [details] kernel-config-x86_64-4.11.7-gentoo I'm using Legacy (BIOS) boot + bootloader (Grub2).
I've looked at the strip feature patch. It seems that the patch is completely wrong, at least in the kernel stripping part. It tries to strip bzImage, which is the compressed kernel image + decompressor. The result is just the broken bzImage header. If you want to strip a kernel, you should strip an uncompressed image (and somehow make bzImage from it).
(In reply to Joonas Niilola from comment #10) > After adding --no-strip parameter, it > loaded the image, but failed to boot because it couldnt find partitions > (same error as mentioned in this bug earlier). I've opened bug #622930 for initramfs issue.
