[solved] dkms install hook fails when installing zfs-dkms

Backstory: ZFS used to work with this setup and I had a forced shutdown (not during upgrade) and now when I try to (re-)install zfs-dkms on my NAS I get the following error:

(2/2) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.1.6 -k 5.19.13-arch1-1
fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F
configure: error: 
		*** This kernel does not include the required loadable module
		*** support!
		***
		*** To build OpenZFS as a loadable Linux kernel module
		*** enable loadable module support by setting
		*** `CONFIG_MODULES=y` in the kernel configuration and run
		*** `make modules_prepare` in the Linux source tree.
		***
		*** If you don't intend to enable loadable kernel module
		*** support, please compile OpenZFS as a Linux kernel built-in.

		*** Prepare the Linux source tree by running `make prepare`,

		*** kernel as usual.

Some general information about the system:

$ uname -a
Linux scotty-the-fourth 5.19.13-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 04 Oct 2022 14:36:58 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Find the full install procedure as gist here:

Note that I do not think that this is a duplicate of https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=278051, since I never had CUDA installed and gcc correctly points to the system gcc.

Also this is my first post on the forums, I hope I made no mistakes with regard to the rules!

Re: [solved] dkms install hook fails when installing zfs-dkms

You should post the entire pacman log from that update.

Barring that..

which gcc

Re: [solved] dkms install hook fails when installing zfs-dkms

Since the error is during the configure step, see config.log instead of make.log.

Re: [solved] dkms install hook fails when installing zfs-dkms

The only error I see (I think) is: checking wether CONFIG_MODULES is defined and the result is no .

There is this closed OpenZFS issue...

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10832

A fix was pushed back in April although it keeps getting referenced up until 20 days ago.

I think if I were you I would remove the zfs-dkms from dkms, uninstall them from your system, git clone them and then rebuild allowing dkms to re-build the modules.

If that *DOES* work, Arch is on kernel 6.0 and pahole ver 1:1.24-1...I would work on getting there.

The error message  is from the fix to that issue proving it is applied.

Does zfs support 6.0?  https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/14024

What is the output of

pacman -Qkk linux linux-headers
grep CONFIG_MODULES /usr/lib/modules/*/build/include/generated/autoconf.h
