Building multiple kernels with "make release"
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2021 17:11:48 UTC
Is it possible to build multiple different kernels and include them all in a release image? release.conf says so. But from experiment, what I see is that: * release.sh does pass both kernels in the KERNCONF variable to "make buildkernel" * "make buildkernel" dutifully builds both * BUT, "make installkernel" only installs the first kernel and ignores the rest * Only the first kernel ends up in the final image * It's not really clear where an alternate kernel should go, anyway. Probably someplace like /boot/kernel.debug , but release.conf doesn't provide a way to specify that. So is the "multiple kernels in release.conf" feature unfinished? If so, does anybody have a good idea about the best way to finish it? https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/7045b1603bdf054145dd958a4acc17b410fb62a0/release/release.conf.sample#L32 -Alan
