The patch is applied to busybox in bug #926872 (busybox-1.36.1-kernel-6.8.patch) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to linux-headers-6.8 2. Try building an initramfs with genkernel 3.
same issue here: * ERROR: create_initramfs(): append_data(): append_busybox(): populate_binpkg(): gkbuild(): Failed to create binpkg of busybox-1.36.1!
To fix this, download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gentoo/genkernel/43a3b450c22875fa3b553652247191e5c51eebbb/patches/busybox/1.36.1/busybox-1.36.1-kernel-6.8.patch into /usr/share/genkernel/patches/busybox/1.36.1/busybox-1.36.1-kernel-6.8.patch I've opened a PR at https://github.com/gentoo/genkernel/pull/59
Are the other two patches from the 1.33.1 dir automatically picked up? or they're no longer needed and only apply to 1.33.1 busybox? https://github.com/gentoo/genkernel/tree/361810b23acd9452218368acecc7cc5262f00c74/patches/busybox/1.33.1 a quick dir diff between busybox 1.33.1 and busybox 1.36.1 versions shows that neither patch is already in... but I don't know if they're already picked up from the genkernel 1.33.1 dir if the current busybox version is 1.36.1 and it has its own 1.36.1 dir (after that PR gets accepted)

I didn't see any patch being applied to 1.36.1.
