Re: [SOLVED] Kernel install missing module error

0x0.st

+ map add_module 'ahci?' 'sd_mod?' 'usb_storage?' 'uas?' 'mmc_block?' nvme2 'virtio_scsi?' 'virtio_blk?'

The problems start right at the beginning, the "?" gets substituted for whatever reason.

Edit /usr/lib/initcpio/install/block and put every element in that line (everything that trails w/ a "?") in single quotes.

/bin/zsh

pleaseodeagodpleaseitschristmas
Do you use OMZ?

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel install missing module error

Perhaps it's a file glob.
Add the following line to install/block just above the one with map add_module ahci? ...

realpath -- nvme?

Edit:
Yeah, it's a file glob.

$ touch nvme2
$ sudo mkinitcpio -P

Yep that makes perfect sense. I have two directories in my $HOME, one called nvme and one called nvme2 (its where I mount my 2nd and 3rd nvme drives).

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel install missing module error

That's almost too obvious

@nl6720, "+1" for the MR
(It's the correct thing to do anyway - the "?" was always gonna be prone to glob something™ - I file in $PWD being rather a surprising obstacle, I had bet on some variable bleeding in)

Well what's weird is its not a matter of running it from $HOME. I changed to other directories to test that theory and got the exact same error.

I didn't have time to go through every involved script and config file but it must check $HOME at some point.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel install missing module error

In the build() function instead of set-/+x add "pwd", that'll print the PWD at this point - likely your $HOME ?

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel install missing module error

This would have caught it too:

try logging in as root instead of using sudo

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel install missing module error

I guess its solved? I've since changed hardware so I can't test this solution.
