- please follow rpi4B 00-build to prepre your SSD.
- make sure you did copy the directory of kernel built directory linux-6.3-manjaro /usr/src/.

And then move on to hc4Gentoo.yushei.net, to make initramfs...

- /etc/genkernel.conf

Configuration file for genkernel

This file is sourced by genkernel at startup and determines which options

we will be using to compile our kernel. The order of precidence is simple,

with the internal settings being least important, configuration file

settings next, and command line options being most important.

=========COMMON COMMAND LINE OPTION DEFAULTS=========

Install to $BOOTDIR

#INSTALL="yes"

Run 'make oldconfig' before compiling this kernel

#OLDCONFIG="yes"

Run 'make menuconfig' before compiling this kernel

#MENUCONFIG="no"

Run 'make gconfig' before compiling this kernel

#GCONFIG="no"

Run 'make nconfig' (ncurses 'menuconfig') before compiling this kernel

#NCONFIG="no"

Run 'make xconfig' before compiling this kernel

#XCONFIG="no"

Run 'make mrproper' before compiling this kernel

#MRPROPER="yes"

Run 'make clean' before compiling this kernel

Only needed if MRPROPER is set to NO because

MRPROPER implies 'make clean'.

#CLEAN="yes"

Mount BOOTDIR automatically if it isn't mounted

#MOUNTBOOT="yes"

Make symlinks in BOOTDIR automatically

#SYMLINK="no"

Save the new configuration in /etc/kernels upon

successful compilation

#SAVE_CONFIG="yes"

Enable color output in genkernel

NOCOLOR="false"

Clear build cache dir on gernkernel start

#CLEAR_CACHEDIR="no"

Clear all tmp files and caches after genkernel has run

#POSTCLEAR="no"

Check for x MB free disk space in BOOTDIR

#CHECK_FREE_DISK_SPACE_BOOTDIR=0

Check for x MB free disk space in kernel outputdir

#CHECK_FREE_DISK_SPACE_KERNELOUTPUTDIR=0

Genkernel uses an independent configuration for MAKEOPTS, and does not source

/etc/portage/make.conf . You can override the default setting by uncommenting

and tweaking the following line. Default setting is set up by

${GK_SHARE}/${ARCH_OVERRIDE}/config.sh . The recommended value for -j

argument is: *+1

#MAKEOPTS="$(portageq envvar MAKEOPTS)"

Run the kernel make at the following NICE level

#NICE=10

Add bcache support

#BCACHE="no"

Add LVM support

#LVM="no"

Add LUKS support

#LUKS="no"

Add GnuPG support

#GPG="no"

Add keyctl support for loading LUKS passphrase into a keyring

#KEYCTL="no"

Add in early microcode support: this sets the kernel options for early microcode loading

Possible values: empty/"no", "all", "intel", "amd"

#MICROCODE="all"

Include early microcode in generated initramfs.

Only needed if system cannot load multiple initramfs.

NOTE: >=sys-boot/grub-2 will detect and auto-load {amd,intel}-uc.img file

provided by sys-firmware/intel-microcode[initramfs] or

sys-kernel/linux-firmware[initramfs].

#MICROCODE_INITRAMFS="no"

Add NFS support

#NFS="no"

Add DMRAID support

#DMRAID="no"

Add SSH support

#SSH="no"

Add b2sum support

#B2SUM="no"

Include busybox in the initramfs. If included, busybox is rebuilt

if the cached copy is out of date.

#BUSYBOX="yes"

Add MDRAID support

#MDADM="no"

Specify a custom mdadm.conf.

By default the initramfs will be built without an mdadm.conf and will auto-detect

arrays during bootup. Usually, this should not be needed.

#MDADM_CONFIG="/etc/mdadm.conf"

Add Multipath support

#MULTIPATH="no"

Add iSCSI support

#ISCSI="no"

Add e2fsprogs support

#E2FSPROGS="no"

Include support for unionfs

#UNIONFS="no"

Include support for zfs volume management. If unset, genkernel will attempt

to autodetect and enable this when rootfs is on zfs.

#ZFS="no"

Add BTRFS support

#BTRFS="no"

Add xfsprogs support

#XFSPROGS="no"

Install firmware onto root filesystem

Will conflict with sys-kernel/linux-firmware package

#FIRMWARE_INSTALL="no"

Add firmware(s) to initramfs

#FIRMWARE="no"

Specify directory to pull from

#FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

Specify a comma-separated list of firmware files or directories to include,

relative to FIRMWARE_DIR. If empty or unset, the full contents of

FIRMWARE_DIR will be included (if FIRMWARE option above is set to YES).

#FIRMWARE_FILES=""

Add new kernel to grub

Possible values: empty/"no", "grub", "grub2"

#BOOTLOADER="no"

Use sandbox when building initramfs

#SANDBOX="yes"

Embed and set font early on boot

Possible values: empty/"none", "current",

#BOOTFONT="none"

Add boot splash using splashutils

#SPLASH="no"

Use this splash theme. If commented out - the "default" name theme is used.

Also, SPLASH="yes" needs to be enabled for this one to work.

This supersedes the "SPLASH_THEME" option in '/etc/conf.d/splash'.

#SPLASH_THEME="gentoo"

Run "emerge @module-rebuild" automatically when possible and necessary

after kernel and modules have been compiled

#MODULEREBUILD="yes"

Run the specified command in the current environment after the kernel and

modules have been compiled, useful to rebuild external kernel module

(see MODULEREBUILD above) or installing additional

files (use 'copy_image_with_preserve dtb path/to/dtb dtb ')

Default share directory location

#BUSYBOX_CONFIG="/path/to/file"

NOTE: Since genkernel 3.4.41 the version of

busybox, lvm, mdadm, ... have been moved to

/usr/share/genkernel/defaults/software.sh in order to

reduce the merging you have to do during etc-update.

You can still override these settings in here.

=========MISC KERNEL CONFIGURATION=========

Set kernel filename which will be used when kernel will be installed

into BOOTDIR. See man page to learn more about available placeholders.

#KERNEL_FILENAME="vmlinuz-%%KV%%"

Set kernel symlink name which will be used when kernel will be installed

into BOOTDIR and SYMLINK option is enabled

#KERNEL_SYMLINK_NAME="kernel"

This option will set kernel option CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.

Use special value "UNSET" to unset already set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.

#KERNEL_LOCALVERSION="-%%ARCH%%"

This option is only valid if kerncache is

defined. If there is a valid kerncache no checks

will be made against a kernel source tree.

#KERNEL_SOURCES="yes"

Build a static (monolithic kernel)

#BUILD_STATIC="no"

Make and install kernelz image (PowerPC)

#GENZIMAGE="no"

Archive file created using tar containing kernel binary, content

of /lib/modules and the kernel config.

NOTE: Archive is created before the callbacks are run!

#KERNCACHE="/path/to/file.tar.xz"

Prefix to kernel module destination, modules

will be installed in /lib/modules

#KERNEL_MODULES_PREFIX=""

=========MISC INITRAMFS CONFIGURATION=========

Set initramfs filename which will be used when initramfs will be

installed into BOOTDIR. See man page to learn more about available

placeholders.

#INITRAMFS_FILENAME="initramfs-%%KV%%.img"

Set initramfs symlink name which will be used when initramfs will be

installed into BOOTDIR and SYMLINK option is enabled

#INITRAMFS_SYMLINK_NAME="initramfs"

#ALLRAMDISKMODULES="no"

Copy selected modules to the initramfs based on arch-specific modules_load file

#RAMDISKMODULES="yes"

Archive file created using tar containing kernel and initramfs.

NOTE: No modules outside of the initramfs will be included!

#MINKERNPACKAGE="/path/to/file.tar.xz"

Add additional modules to the initramfs using the module groups defined

in /usr/share/genkernel/defaults/modules_load (see this file for

more details). This would be used if, for example, you

required an additional crypto module or network device at boot

time and did not want to statically compile these in the kernel.

Options take the form AMODULES_{group} where {group} is one of

the groups in modules_load (which are in the form MODULES_{group}).

Use this with caution.

#AMODULES_group="module-to-include another-module"

Override the default modules in the initramfs, for a given group, as defined by

/usr/share/genkernel/defaults/modules_load and the per-arch modules_load

files. You PROBABLY want to use AMODULES_* above, and NOT MODULES_* here.

If you use MODULES_* here, the default and per-arch modules will NOT be used.

#MODULES_group1="some-module" #MODULES_group2="" # Load no modules for this group
