Replacing the Kernel with HardHatOS COPR kernel doesnt work

[secretmango]

I am using Fedora Kinoite. I want to replace the Kernel for the hardened one, along with hardened_malloc, which I have already successfully layered.

Describe the bug Even though I fixed all dependency issues, I get

error: Multiple kernels (vmlinuz) found in: usr/lib/modules: 6.1.8-hardened1-1-hardened 6.1.7-200.fc37.x86_64+debug

To Reproduce

1. Add the COPR repo
2. sudo rpm-ostree override remove kernel kernel-core kernel-modules kernel-modules-extra --install kernel-hardened

It looks like the kernel package provides two kernels in a single RPM which confuses ostree/rpm-ostree.

Hi, its me.

Here are some new errors.

This is an rpm-ostree problem; something similar - https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/3530

It probably would make sense to file an issue with the rpm-ostree team

[travier]

Listing the content of the offending package would help with debugging here:

$ rpm -qlp <package>.rpm

If there truly are multiple kernels in a package then rpm-ostree can not know which one to use. If there is indeed only one and the package is correct, then it's an rpm-ostree bug.

Here is the file, its veeeery long.

[travier]

The only difference I can see is the usage of /usr/lib/modules instead of /lib/modules. Not sure if that's the root problem.

This indeed looks like an rpm-ostree bug. Please report it there and link the bug here.

Thanks.
