[SOLVED] No manually built kernel can boot

[hearty elk]

hi, this is becoming a problem, so if anyone is willing to help it will be much apreciated. i downloaded the sources with gentoo-sources, configured, ran make, make modules_install, make install and updated grub. i even built the initramfs with dracut. when i boot into grub and select that kernel, i just get the msi logo

gentoo-sources with no configuration will not work

those are just sources, not config

dist-kernel is gentoo sources + config based on fedora's config

turns out you actually need to update grub after you make the initramfs

I mena

yes??

otherwise grub will try to boot your kernel

feel free to revoke my linux license

without giving it an initramfs

everyone should just use efistub and custom build scripts

mmh

thanks anyway everyone

how to mark as solved?

[keen ledge]

be sure to read the output grub gives you when it runs, i always check to make sure it's including my latest kernel version
