------- Comment From [email protected] 2020-06-02 07:57 EDT------- I usually compile on a development machine and then scp a tar archive of the modules and the vmlinuz e.g. to a z/VM guest with less memory and CPU. Previously this worked the same across all distros which makes this very practical for us.
That said, I've now tried with a locally build Kernel (from the focal Kernel repository master branch) with the following sequence: (As build dependencies I installed build-essential, bison, flex, and libssl-dev) $ make defconfig (defconfig is what we usually use internally but I don't think this changes anything) $ make -j $(nproc) $ sudo make modules_install $ sudo make install With this I also see the same issue /boot/vmlinuz is freshly symlinked but /boot/initrd.img keeps pointing to the previous kernel installed as a deb. E.g. below that was the PPA Kernel from the other issue: $ ls -l /boot/initrd.img lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jun 2 04:37 /boot/initrd.img -> initrd.img-5.4.0-31.35ubuntu2-generic $ ls -l /boot/vmlinuz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 2 05:57 /boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-5.4.27 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1877088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
