Hi, Since I've upgraded to Fedora 31, I'm having trouble compiling and installing custom kernels. This never happened with Fedora 30, so some things must have changed that I'm unaware of. 'dnf info kernel-5.5.7' shows that the Fedora team is successful in compiling and installing the new kernels where I'm not. Help would be appreciated. After downloading the most recent kernel from the kernel archives I run this sequence of commands as usual: make menuconfig O=../linux-5.5.7-build make modules_install O=../linux-5.5.7-build make install O=../linux-5.5.7-build The first two commands run without error. The third one, it seems is not looking for the grub bootloader, but for the lilo bootloader, and exits with an error. This is only since I use Fedora 31. What am I doing wrong??? Have I forgotten to install a dependency of some sort? Also, I found this link: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/kernel/build-custom-kernel/ which seems a little outdated. It is not of any use to me in its current state.
The kernel makefile expects grub installs to have an "installkernel" command available. On Fedora this is part of grubby which in recent Fedora releases is no longer installed by default. "sudo dnf install grubby" Should make the last step work. Javier (added to the Cc) is there any chance we can move the installkernel script into a package which is installed by default?
