Hi Arne, I have tried it out on a vm clone running CU199 Testing.
In the readme.txt file I think you meant to have tar xvaf KERNEL-ARCHIV.tar.xz -C / instead of tar xvaf KERNEL-ARCHIV.tar.xz -C \ At least it only extracted for me with the / and not the \. I then ran the dracut command and got the following messages. sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force dracut[I]: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver=6.12.58-ipfire --force dracut[E]: Module 'btrfs' depends on module 'initqueue', which can't be installed dracut[E]: Module 'lvm' depends on module 'initqueue', which can't be installed dracut[E]: Module 'mdraid' depends on module 'initqueue', which can't be installed dracut[I]: *** Including module: modsign *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: i18n *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: btrfs *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: dm *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: fs-lib *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: kernel-modules *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: kernel-modules-extra *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: lvm *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: mdraid *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: qemu *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: rootfs-block *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: terminfo *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: udev-rules *** dracut[I]: *** Including module: base *** dracut[I]: *** Including modules done *** dracut[I]: *** Installing kernel module dependencies *** dracut[I]: *** Installing kernel module dependencies done *** dracut[I]: *** Resolving executable dependencies *** dracut[I]: *** Resolving executable dependencies done *** dracut[I]: *** Generating early-microcode cpio image *** dracut[I]: *** Constructing AuthenticAMD.bin *** dracut[I]: *** Constructing GenuineIntel.bin *** dracut[I]: *** Store current command line parameters *** dracut[I]: *** Creating image file '/boot/initramfs-6.12.58-ipfire.img.tmp' *** dracut[I]: *** Hardlinking files *** dracut[I]: *** Hardlinking files done *** Not sure about the "module 'initqueue', which can't be installed" bits. After the above last line I then got cp: error writing '/boot/initramfs-6.12.58-ipfire.img.tmp': No space left on device So I suspect I need to make the IPFire vm disk larger. Will give that a try later but would like to know if there is anything I need to do with regard to the initqueue module that is mentioned in the dracut output. Regards, Adolf.
