all operations are performed as root - I'm highly puzzled by "permission denied". It all started after I had to enable kernel-install USE for systemd as a requirement for some package...
Is this a systemd or openrc system? Could you show me your USE configuration of sys-kernel/installkernel as well as the contents of /usr/lib/kernel/install.conf, /etc/kernel/install.conf and a list of installed plugins in /usr/lib/kernel/install.d, /etc/kernel/install.d, /etc/kernel/preinst.d and /etc/kernel/postinst.d (in so far as these files and directories exist). Permission denied is very puzzling indeed. As a workaround you can set SYSTEMD_KERNEL_INSTALL=0 in environment or disable the systemd USE flag on sys-kernel/installkernel to fallback to the 'traditional' installkernel instead of systemd's version.
Is this system also using btrfs RAID as in [1], if so it should be resolved by [2] which I think is present in systemd 255.2. If [1] describes your setup, could you try upgrading to the latest systemd(-utils) and retry? [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2251262 [2] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/30321

This is a systemd system, and I didn't customize anything regarding installkernel package.

I'm on systemd 255.2-r2 and I still experience this issue. Setting SYSTEMD_KERNEL_INSTALL=0 allows me to install the kernel. The automated generation of the initramfs during the kernel install is pre-mature for me as I use the out-of-tree kernel modules (zfs) and they are not usually rebuilt for the new kernel version by that moment. How can I disable it?

Set USE=-dracut on sys-kernel/installkernel. Unfortunately the traditional installkernel (USE=-systemd) is not configurable so you either have to remove the plugin /etc/kernel/preinst.d/50-dracut.install or disable its installation with USE=-dracut. The "new" systemd version is configurable though and with this installation method you can disable the dracut plugin by setting initrd_generator to something other then dracut. Another thing you could consider, instead of disabling the dracut plugin is to create a custom plugin (i.e. 40-zfs.install) that installs the zfs kernel module for the new kernel version before the dracut plugin (50-dracut.install) is run. (perhaps this is something we could even ship with the zfs package, but this is something for the zfs maintainers to look into). See also the new installkernel wiki page [3]. CC'ing @systemd since the problem originates there. Maybe we can backport the patch from [2], or perhaps we can simply wait for the next release.

This should now be resolved in sys-apps/systemd-255.3. Please re-open if this is not the case.

See Bug 923025 We unfortunately had to remove this feature because it was a bit messy and caused problems on systems that did not have parallel-install enabled.
