How to test a new kernel

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I've upgraded from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33 and I want to test kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.

Issuing command "sudo dnf upgrade --advisory=FEDORA-2020-6bac1c305f" (see https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-6bac1c305f) I can see files initramfs-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.img in /boot directory.

When checking file /boot/grub2/grub.cfg there is no kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le option available. I've tried running grub2-mkconfig but /boot/grub2/grub.cfg remained unchanged.

I've then downloaed kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1637394 and run "rpm -ivh kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm" and the response includes "package kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le is already installed". Still /boot/grub2/grub.cfg does not contain kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.

What am I missing here?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

I assume it doesn't show up either as an option in Petitboot.

Yep. All I see on Petit boot is what is in grub.cfg.

Any idea?

Hi MPC7500,

I read the article you sent and got excited because I realised I had installed just kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm, so I've downloaded kernel-core-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm and kernel-modules-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm and run "sudo dnf install kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm kernel-core-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm kernel-modules-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le.rpm". The result was:

Package kernel-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le is already installed.
Package kernel-core-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le is already installed.
Package kernel-modules-5.8.18-300.fc33.ppc64le is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.

I've checked /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, which had not changed. I've run grub2-mkconfig but grub.cfg did not change.

I've booted to see if something had changed but no, nothing changed.

Can you give me some additional advice? this is first time I try this and maybe I missed some important point.

Thanks in advance.
