Problem compiling kernel

I have been compiling and using the so-called “pf-kernel”

https://gitlab.com/post-factum/pf-kernel/-/wikis/README

for the last year or so and have never had any issues with compiling it or installing it.

I recently downloaded the latest version. Compiling went fine, as did “make modules_install”. However, when trying to execute “make install” the system complains that it can’t find LILO:

**localhost:/usr/src/pf-kernel-v5.14-pf7 #** make install
sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh \
        5.14.999-pf7-1-default arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
        System.map "/boot"
Cannot find LILO.


Funny thing is, I tried the “make install” command on the last pf-kernel that I had successfully installed, and now get the same error:

**localhost:/usr/src/pf-kernel-v5.14-pf6 #** make install
sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh \
        5.14.999-pf6-1-default arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
        System.map "/boot"
Cannot find LILO.


So either my system has been corrupted somehow, or a recent update changed something.

Has anyone else seen this?

Do I just need to reinstall?

Hi
Have a read here: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/PT4JALJ4AYNCWO2AOWRUCHVO4YELB3LK/

Thanks. That was it.

Following the advice in that thread, I copied “/sbin/installkernel” from a Leap 15.3 installation on another partition to my Tumbleweed installation, after which the kernel installation proceeded normally.

Hi
Excellent :slight_smile:
