Bug ID: 292232
Summary: loader: kernels_autodetect fails on initial load
Product: Base System
Version: 16.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
on a newly installed amd64 system with some local installer/packaging patches:
+ /boot/kernel doesn't exist
+ /boot/kernel.GENERIC contains a kernel
+ no other kernels are installed
+ loader.conf is an empty file
when the loader starts, the beastie menu correctly autodetects "kernel.GENERIC"
and the menu shows "Kernel: 6. kernel.GENERIC (1 of 1)", but pressing "1" to
boot does not work (nothing happens).
dropping to the loader prompt and running "boot" by hand indicates it's trying
to boot /boot/kernel/kernel, not /boot/kernel.GENERIC/kernel.
if i press 6 to change the kernel (which doesn't do anything, since there's
only one kernel available), pressing "1" to boot then works correctly.
it seems like something isn't being initialised properly until the user
manually switches the kernel at least once.
