genkernel-next-68 on Gentoo fails to find modules

[Massimo-B]

When booting with LUKS, the dm-mod Module is missing. When creating the initramfs it doesn't find the modules:

Although it later in the process finds the right directory /lib/modules/4.13.0-pf2..:

Hi,

I've got the same issue with "CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS". Unset config variables will fix it. (gen_initramfs.sh search for .ko and not .ko.gz)

Regards,

I've noticed that genkernel-next doesn't always do a good job of figuring out which modules it needs to include. Try with --all-ramdisk-modules and see if the problem goes away. If so you can either just use that or figure out which modules to order it to specifically add.
