I noticed this build error message (on an i386 build):

../certs/Makefile:52: *** Could not determine digest type to use from kernel config.  Stop.

and when I was checking on why it happened, I noticed that
# CONFIG_MODULES is not set

and hence
ifndef CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_HASH
$(error Could not determine digest type to use from kernel config)
endif

CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_HASH is not set/enabled/defined.

However, the .config file does have
CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE=y
# CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY is not set
# CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BUILD_POLICY is not set
CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG=y

as well as
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORMAT=y

due to a "select" by IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG.
(although I see that MODULE_SIG_FORMAT does not depend on MODULES)


Is there anything that you can do (or recommend) to prevent
the build error?



BTW, it looks like this:
config IMA_APPRAISE_REQUIRE_MODULE_SIGS
	bool "Appraise kernel modules signatures"
	depends on IMA_APPRAISE_BUILD_POLICY

could also depend on MODULES.



Full i386 randconfig file is attached.

thanks.
