[Touch-packages] [Bug 1877088] Re: [UBUNTU 20.04] installkernel script does not symlink /boot/initrd.img which is required with the default zipl.conf
The script responsible for updating the /boot/initrd.img symlink is called `linux-update-symlinks`. If a kernel is installed without that script being run, the symlink will not be updated. The only place where `linux-update-symlinks` is run is inside each of our kernels, in `debian/templates/image.postinst.in`. This means that when our kernels are built as .deb packages, the appropriate machinery will be placed inside the .deb to thus update the /boot/initrd.img symlink. I checked the change history to `installkernel` and could not find any point in time in which it ran `linux-update-symlinks`. Furthermore, the help info inside `linux-update-symlinks` contains the following note: "This command is intended to be called from the postinst and postrm maintainer scripts of Linux kernel packages." It looks like `linux- update-symlinks` was only ever intended to be used in postinst/postrm hooks for .deb packages (and not called by `installkernel`). There are a few remedies to this problem I can see, but I'm not sure which is the correct solution: 1. Add a call to `linux-update-symlinks` into `installkernel` or 2. Add a script into /etc/kernel/postinst.d to run `linux-update-symlinks` or 3. Run `linux-update-symlinks` manually after installing a kernel directly via `installkernel` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to debianutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877088 Title: [UBUNTU 20.04] installkernel script does not symlink /boot/initrd.img which is required with the default zipl.conf Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Triaged Status in debianutils package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When testing development kernels I usually rely on the installkernel script either through the "make install" target of the Kernel source or manually.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1877088] Re: [UBUNTU 20.04] installkernel script does not symlink /boot/initrd.img which is required with the default zipl.conf
Eoan and later d-i, new installer, curtin do not install /etc/kernel-img.conf. Upgraded systems keep having it (ie. installed with bionic or xenial, and upgraded). Can you please let me know if _removing_ /etc/kernel-img.conf breaks $ sudo make install, and if adding /etc/kernel-img.conf back fixes $ sudo make install? Cause the expectation is that `/etc/kernel-img.conf` should not be there, yet everything should still work correctly. I think somewhere something is reading "link_in_boot=yes" and was not updated with the new implicit default to always assume that on recent ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to debianutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877088 Title: [UBUNTU 20.04] installkernel script does not symlink /boot/initrd.img which is required with the default zipl.conf Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Triaged Status in debianutils package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When testing development kernels I usually rely on the installkernel script either through the "make install" target of the Kernel source or manually.
