Subject: mkvmlinuz should bail if it can't find addnote Package: mkvmlinuz Version: 23
A user from Ubuntu reported a bug in mkvmlinuz's failure reporting. mkvmlinuz terminates silently when the object dir can't be found and verbose mode is not set. It shouild bail and tell the user that the vmlinuz image could not be created. For example: $ mkvmlinuz -d asd Terminated with no output while $ mkvmlinuz -d asd -v === Building for sub-architecture chrp. === Using kernel image file /boot/vmlinux-2.6.17-5-powerpc. === Using initrd image file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-5-powerpc. === Release version seems to be 2.6.17-5-powerpc. === Using object files from asd. === Building a bootable compressed kernel image in /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-5-powerpc. === Doing build in /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085. === Creating compressed initrd image initrd.gz... cp -p /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-5-powerpc /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/initrd.gz === Creating compressed kernel image vmlinux.gz... strip -s -R .comment /boot/vmlinux-2.6.17-5-powerpc -o /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/vmlinux gzip --force --best /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/vmlinux === Putting everything into ELF image file image.o... objcopy asd/mkvmlinuz-kernel-vmlinux.strip.o /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/dummy_kernel.o --add-section=.kernel:vmlinux.strip=/tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/vmlinux.gz --set-section-flags=.kernel:vmlinux.strip=contents,alloc,load,readonly,data objcopy: 'asd/mkvmlinuz-kernel-vmlinux.strip.o': No such file objcopy: error: the input file 'asd/mkvmlinuz-kernel-vmlinux.strip.o' is empty objcopy asd/mkvmlinuz-kernel-initrd.o /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/dummy_initrd.o --add-section=.kernel:initrd=/tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/initrd.gz --set-section-flags=.kernel:initrd=contents,alloc,load,readonly,data objcopy: 'asd/mkvmlinuz-kernel-initrd.o': No such file objcopy: error: the input file 'asd/mkvmlinuz-kernel-initrd.o' is empty === Creating bootable kernel image file vmlinuz.chrp... ld -m elf32ppc -T asd/zImage.lds -o /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/vmlinuz.chrp asd/crt0.o asd/string.o asd/prom.o asd/stdio.o asd/main.o asd/div64.o asd/infblock.o asd/infcodes.o asd/inffast.o asd/inflate.o asd/inftrees.o asd/infutil.o /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/dummy_kernel.o /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/dummy_initrd.o ld: cannot open linker script file asd/zImage.lds: No such file or directory asd/addnote /tmp/tmp.tkscvv6085/vmlinuz.chrp /usr/sbin/mkvmlinuz: line 26: asd/addnote: No such file or directory === Cleaning up...
