installkernel-gentoo

Install the kernel on a Gentoo Linux system.

This script is called by the kernel's make install if it is installed as /sbin/installkernel. It is also called by kernel-install.eclass.

This script was extracted from sys-apps/debianutils. It was subsequenly modified for Gentoo by Michał Górny and Nowa Ammerlaan.

See the installkernel Gentoo wiki page for more details.

Making changes

When making changes:

  • Adjust the installkernel-9999.ebuild in this repository if changes to the ::gentoo ebuild are intended, then
  • Run tests with ./run_tests_in_docker.sh (installing Docker is required).

Do NOT run ./run_tests.sh outside of any containers, it WILL mess with the systems /boot and /efi.
